My mother has been researching Westie breeders for a few weeks now. I asked her why a breeder and not a rescue or a shelter. She said she has rasearched and loved this breed for so long and would gladly rescue a dog....but we have two dogs, a lot if different critters, young visitors, and we can't have a dog with a lot of health probelms because our money isn't unlimited. So far all the rescue westies we've seen wouldn't do well in our home because of one or the other.

I'm in the middle of the road as far as buying from a breeder goes.

Should we wait until we find a rescue westie that would do well in our home or buy from a breeder?
