Westies are the best! Our first one lived almost 19 years, our second one lived for 12 years, and we have our third one now, and she is 6. Would never own another breed. They're tough, but worth it!!

[@susannoulton8984]

Thank you so much for putting the video on of Leo, it will be 1 year on 23rd of July, that I lost my westie Jacky, she was just like Leo, so full of go, full of westietude. She was 15 when she passed, I had been thinking about another westie, but with all this going on in the world will wait till next year. In the meantime I will watch gorgeous Leo. 💙💙

[@maryanncoopersmith6931]

I love your video. I've had 3 Westies. Mac, McDuff and Simon. They lived to 15, 12 and 12. Simon was a champion that I afopted

[@maryanncoopersmith6931]

continuing ... Simon was 5 and a champion.

[@maryanncoopersmith6931]

I loved all my Westies and I always say if Jesus had a dog it would be Simon. Such a good dog. Rescu3d him after his championship. He wad used for stud service and then he lived with me till the end. I haven't had another due to my age but miss all my Westies and dogs. I'll see you all at The Rainbow Bridge.

[@beepbeep5181]

I have a westie x bichon and I can confirm that he definitely took the westie side more; he’s always zooming around, barking, playing or sleeping and he loves to lie on his back haha

[@ORQ5StarBlue]

Great video. Leo is awesome. We have a westie. His name is Finn Diesel. He’ll be 3 in September of 2021. Finn could be Leo’s twin 👍

[@JulietWildasin]

He is so cute and playful

[@msbecky]

What a cutie!!!! Love the big red ball play !!

[@Fluffykeith]

I have a ten month old Westie pup named Loki....and I can vouch that these are all true

[@leonardodawestie8899]

great name!

[@cindy414ful]

Leo is wonderfully energetic, acts much like our Westie, Sam! Enjoyed your video immensely, Thank you.

[@majathewesthighlandwhitete1513]

Hi Renzo What a wonderful Westie you have there🥰 This breed is a great personality in a small body. Westie are great dogs! I got my first Westie dog Jenny 22 years ago. Unfortunately she was only 8 years old when she died of cancer. Very sad. Then I got Maja Westie. She turned 14 years this August. Wonderful and lovable dog also.These dog are just so positive and happy dogs. Love them forever!❤️

[@sandyogrady1333]

Yup this is pretty much what my two westies are like

[@anniepicco4700]

Thank you for great videos of your Westie. My ziggy is going on 6 years and the last 2 we have a itch problem. What food do you give yours I’ve tried so much and the medication does not work. Thank you I hope you have some answers.

[@Thriller26]

LOL...Love The Red Neck Scarf. The Panting Sounds He Makes When Playing Are Hilarious...He’s a Feisty Lil’ Something! 😆

[@BestDogRaincoatsCIUCIU]

Oh my, this dog has patience. Good! We love big balls too, that is so exciting to westies. I believe they feel being bigger dogs then they are:))

[@alech6867]

My 6 years old Westy goes nuts if he sees a dog pass by outside, they are extremelly social...i think is much better to have other dog as companion...

[@DavidGutierrez-nt7ov]

Largest ball fetch I haven't seen. It is funny watching him chase that ball.👍 Beautiful Westie

[@leonardodawestie8899]

Thanks!

[@womack5086]

They are so much fun! I leave the ‘skirt’ when grooming

[@davidvickers9029]

You guy’s are lucky as hell ! My Winston the westie had medical issues since birth, AKC breeding and all! I love him so much has cost me total 30k american

[@kusumdhairyavan2463]

Sorry to hear about Winston Our westie Stanley too had several health issues We miss him a lot

[@aprila3929]

omg my westie is so much like urs

[@lorip7440]

He is adorable. How old is he?? I had a female.for 9 years, then she got breast cancer & i had to put her down. She could fly like the wind as i see Leo does as well. Mine also had the Westie-tud!!! She sure loved the snow as well, & could chew up every ball i gave her. Sure miss her, she was a personality like no other dog i have had. Hope Leo lives a long & healthy life😘💝

[@leonardodawestie8899]

He just turned 2! Sorry to hear that :( She lived a happy life with you. Mine is the exact same he loves to chew up every single ball. Westies are a real joy to have!

[@MICHIGANMIKE12]

yes indeed -- our Westie Olive is 10 and has been diagnosed with a fatty tumor on inside of her right thigh. Looks ugly but VET says it should be ok and considering operation to fix it. However, the first VET bill was $890.00 and surgery is estimated to be in excess of $3,500.00 --- How much love can you give a dog versus your wallet being lightened a lot... Thinking of starting a GoFundMe page for it cause I am working 2 part time jobs now and really like the dog, but golly --- ever see a CAT scan machine for a dog?

[@teriannerogers5954]

Hello I have white westie she is 9 in a half

Reply to person wanting a Westie. My last Westie was from Kilts Kennels, Fenton, Michigan. He was a champion so what can I say ... gorgeous with good temperament.

[@chucklucas8747]

Westies are the best. I just have lost my Memo. He was almost 14 years old and passed away day before yesterday :(((

[@leonardodawestie8899]

so sorry to hear that! :(

[@mapleduckguy3479]

My family is looking at smaller type dogs how are westies they are top of our list

[@leonardodawestie8899]

westies have a loud bark and are very protective. If they hear a new sound, they'll bark to alert you. Mine barks every time it sees a squirrel or if a dog or the mailman passes by. They were bred to hunt for rodents so that's why. They are extremely brave, courageous, and loving. He's like a mini body guard. Also, extremely playful, full of energy, smart, and fantastic with kids & adults

[@օռŁŦ-e1n]

awwww to cute 😍😘🐶💚💓

[@tatitv3435]

be safe

[@user-fn4jc3rw6p]

Hahaha exactly like mine... Total crazy head! 😂

[@Robutube1]

What's not to love?! A couple of questions if I may (I'm considering getting myself a Westie)? Leo doesn't seem to be too yappy. Is this normal for Westies? I don't want an overly vocal dog. Also, how trainable are they? I don't want a circus dog but do want one that I have confidence will respond to commands (sit, stay, no, come here). Many thanks.

[@leonardodawestie8899]

He is a vocal dog I'm not going to lie. Normally, Westies have a loud bark and will bark at various things. They were initially bred this way in order to alert owners when they saw rodents. Like in the clip, when he saw a dog pass by and the squirrel he started barking. When it comes to commands he responds well and is very smart. He listens when I tell him to come, sit, or to not do something. As long as you start training him when he is young you'll be fine. Hope this helps!

[@Robutube1]

@@leonardodawestie8899 Many thanks for this very helpful reply - much appreciated!

[@loops702]

I had a westie, she would never bark and had the personality of no other dog i have ever come into contacr with. She died at 13 from a tumor in her spleen so we had to put her down.

[@leonardodawestie8899]

So sorry to hear that. She's in doggy heaven now🙏

hi, i have a tortoise and am thinking of getting a westie, do you think it'd be too risky for my tortoise??

Hi, Westies are super friendly and loving. It won't be risky at all.

Cute westie

[@johnbaxter9446]

Thanks so much! We are now owned by Jamie. We lost our dear Pomeranian Einstein in December 2019, and thought we could never endure this heartbreak again. But the Lord led us to a Westie... We named him James Clerk Maxwell, after the Scottish physicist whose work in electromagnetic field theory was an inspiration to Einstein (the scientist). Jamie is, of course, short for James. Jamie lives in a home piano studio and has inherited Einstein's chauffeur-driven classic Jaguar. He is a puppy and sometimes mischievous of course. He is very intelligent and better still, very loving. We wish you all the best with Leo! We are on a parallel adventure!!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/fmK5e3aAaLBpoqs God bless!!!! -john
