I would like to say we ALMOST got a rescued westie once. She was so sweet looking but my mom decided to wait to fill out the application so...

Have you tried rescues outside of your area?
Yep and no luck. Well some don't have any at all. I don't think it's a breed that gets turned into shelters and rescues a lot.

And you have to make sure you and everyone else in the house is going to be willing to help with training, and gaining trust.
That wouldn't be a probelm. We are willing to work with a rescue dog that needs training.

I talked to my mom and she said she'll continue to look at and research breeders AND look at the rescue dogs. But I think she's leaning towards a breeder.
