Thanks for such a wonderful puppy! Baxter is such a perfect fit with my sheltie and golden retrievers. Gracie, my sheltie, is so thankful to
have a little boy to play with. He is happy, healthy and eating great. Stays in a large crate while I'm at work and then runs and plays inside
when I get home. Sleeps with me at night so far. He loves to be held, but is the happiest boy when he's running around with Gracie or
sitting on the golden retrievers tails. He's such a cutie. I will keep you updated with pictures.
Attached are two, one with Gracie the day after I got him and one taken last night.

After having one heck of a year, my husband said he wanted to get me an early Christmas present. A puppy, any kind. I did a lot of
research and decided on a smaller dog, the Westie. Upon deciding on a breed, my next quest was to find a breeder. Many told me to
stay local but there were no local Westie breeders.So, after much searching on the net, I found Tim & Bobbi Jo. They answered all of my
questions and even met us half way on "puppy pick up" day. Dixie, our newest fur child, stole our hearts(from the very first picture we
saw)but moreso, in that first moment when Bobbi Jo placed her in my arms. She has helped me relax in more ways than one. And I
thank the Powells for that.

Hey Bobbi Jo,
Thanks for the advice..I got a wire mesh crate...he's doing pretty good. I wanted to tell you that we took him to the vet and of course he's a
nice healthy westie...THIS IS WHAT I WANT YOU TO KNOW: The vet was very impressed with your kennel practices. She was very
pleased and very congratulatory about the amount of shots he's had and the worming. They were also impressed with your record
keeping. They asked me the name of your kennel and where you're located. So GREAT JOB! See, Someone notices your hard work.
Thanks, Jeannie S.
Good evening Tim and Bobbi jo;
Well its the day before the eve of Angel's first birthday and she's doing very well. She is sixteen pounds and around eleven inches tall
and a true female Westie. She is so smart, wakes me up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, can't think of the last time she
had an accident in the house, she is known by everyone in the county, we were in the hardware store the other day and one of the
employees said here's Angel back to visit, she goes everywhere with me that dog's are allowed and knows that the road we live on is
her's, she loves it here. She is one happy and content little girl. We are going to celebrate her b/day, we bought her a new lounge, new
food and water bowl's and several toy's, one is a new toy that we gave to her when we first brought her home. She makes a big fuss
when Pam comes home from work, I'll tell her go look for mommy she should be home soon she'll go to the door lay down ant when
she sees the car pull in the driveway jumps up and down against the door until Pam gets in the door, then spends the next ten minutes
licking her and rolling over for a tummy rub. She has a few friends in the neighborhood, one a two year old German shepherd and when
Luna is taken for a walk her and Angel play the whole time there here, Angel, being by far the smaller of the two, chases Luna, (the
shepherd) and then runs away to the steps of the house under my legs, its so funny, I guess you have to be there to appreciate it. She is
truly one of the family, and she knows it.
Again, and we can't thank you enough, thank you so much for bringing Angel and I, and Pam together, you indeed do produce sociable
dog's. I still want another Westie pup, if I do say so myself, I've trained her well, and she does understand English.
Well how are you two doing, fine I hope. I presume you're getting ready for the holiday's were ready here. Had to get a Christmas
stocking for Angel, you know to put her bones and toys in. Everyone say's she's so spoiled, and maybe she is, I don't know I'm strict with
her but I give her the best of everything.
Just wanted to let you know how she's doing on this the day before the eve of her 1st birthday. She's safe and comfortable, you couldn't
have picked two better puppy parents then us. If I do say so myself.
Hope you two have the best thanksgiving, and the most peaceful Christmas two people could have.
Merry Christmas &
A Happy New Year
Rich, Pam & Angel Snowberry
Bobbie Jo,
Just had to send you a couple recent pics of our westie sammie jo.
I can't tell you enough how very much we enjoy him. He is everything that i had hoped for as an addition to our family and more!
Sammie is 2 1/2 years old now ... and can go from one extreme to another. When you get down on the floor to romp with him, he races
through the house like a streak. But on the opposite hand, seems to enjoy lounging with whoever is just lying around just as much.
The bond between he and our 7 year old st bernard is almost inseparable. They play and pick just like any other brother and sister will,
but look like buddies ready to take on the world when they stand shoulder to kneecap surveying the woods for kitties or squirrels.
Sammie is very calm and protective with our new 9 month old granddaughter ... and she takes to him like he is her dog.
I keep trying to talk my wife into having either another westie or a carin terrier ... i may be calling again some day
Thanks again ... Jeff, Lori, Amanda, Jenna, and Ava
Hello Powells,
I figured you would like to know how little Kenny is doing. He is probably the nicest, most well behaved dog I have ever met. It really
is incredible how well he gets along with people and other animals.
He is also completely healthy, and is happy almost all the time. I have honestly never seen him angry once, and the only time he makes
a noise is when someone leaves the room he is in. It's funny because even if it is a new person that he has only known for a minute, he
starts to cry the second they leave. It is probably the cutest thing I have ever seen. He really is a joy to myself and my family, and I thank
you very much for providing such a beautiful dog. Here are a couple of pictures of him that I took on Christmas eve. As you can see, he
is a perfect, happy little puppy. Within the next year, I may just want to get him a little playmate, so hopefully you will have more puppies
available. Again, thank you so much, I couldn't imagine a better dog than him.
Sincerely,
Anthony Dutton
Happy New Year Powells:
Morgan is doing great. She eats like a horse, so she has grown quite a bit.
She's the smartest student in Puppy Class which started last week. She is loving meeting new friends and family. This weekend, we
took her to our place in the Poconos and she had a ball romping in the snow and woods.
Thanks for a great pup.

Tim and Bobbi Jo,
It's hard to believe our little Maggie has been with us for over two years now.
She is as smart as a whip, loves our grand-kids and gets along well with our cats and our Akita George.
We are talking about getting her a brother when the time is right.
Thought I would send some recent pictures.
Best regards.
Dan Rafferty
Tim & Bobbi Jo,
I can't begin to tell you how thrilled we are having Bridgett. She has given us so much joy, my wife and I love her so much. She is the
sweetest dog I've ever had. She has never met a stranger and has to speak to everyone she encounters. She was easy to train, knows
lots of tricks and she knows how to make us feel sorry for her when she doesn't get her way. The expressions on her face are amazing,
when you talk to her she seems to understand every word. I would recommend your kennel to anyone wanting such a loving dog. This
picture was taken last week, she is going to be 2 1/2 years old in March. If you would like, please post to your site.
Thanks for the joy of owning our first Westie.

Hi Bobby Jo!!
Just thought I would give you an update on Clover...she's doing great. She has already been to the vet twice and the vet said she is a
perfect puppy!! She loves to play in the sand, as you can probably tell in the picture!! Thanks again!!

Hi Tim and Bobby Jo,
We hope you and your family are well. Just thought we would drop you a line and let you know how Maddie is doing over here in CT.
Her First year is almost here and she is doing GREAT! She is loving the snow. In the summer she loved the paddling pool we got her for
cooling off. She also has great fun with our two cats, everybody gets on really well and everyone knows there place..lol I'm attaching a
picture for you. This was taken just a couple of days ago. She really is everything (and more) we asked for, you did a wonderful job with
our requests, just another difference between people who breed with care compared to those merely in it for the money. Many Thanks
once again.
Dave, Tammy and Maddie
and the cats:-)
Dear Tim & Bobby Jo,
We bought our Cairn, Pongo, from you almost two years ago. I keep meaning to write to you and send pictures, but I'm only now getting
around to it. We are really enjoying him. He is a great family dog and loves my two kids and my other (senior) dog. We were looking for
a dog that would be playful and energetic and he is all of that. I had heard that Cairn's didn't make good lap dogs, but Pongo loves to
curl up with me (especially when he sees me get a blanket out). He's a real sweetheart and very friendly with other dogs that he meets
on our walks. We haven't had any medical problems with him at all and doing business with you all was a great experience.

Bobbi Jo-
Merry Christmas to you and your family! I just wanted to drop a small note (much overdo...) to tell you what a wonderful addition 'Rory'
has been to the family. Our 2 sons are in absolute love with her, and her with them! My husband and I have been talking about coming
back in the spring to get her a 'brother', our poor cat just can't keep up with her.
Happy Holidays,
Julie Moreau
We are so proud of your little girl Lacie. As you can see, she has turned out to be beautiful. Smart as a whip and such a little lover. She
hates to take a bath or get her hair brushed and is such a tom-boy, but she gets the bath and brushing anyway. She does this thing
where she takes her toys and hides them around the house, sometime taking 10 minutes to find the perfect place to hide it.
Cloth toys she tears up so we've gotten her the hard rubber ones. The first morning we had snow, she barked at it outside. She now
runs and jumps and eats it.
Needless to say, we love her. Thank you.
Merry Christmas to you and yours, with all the blessings that God can give.

Hi Folks,
Just wanted you to know that Katie is doing well here in Delaware. She has gained weight to about seven pounds. She is an active and
fun loving pup. We are so pleased to have her here in our home. She has trained very well and we look forward to every day in our
experience with her.
I will try to attach a picture of her taken a couple of days ago. Have a great Holiday Season. I will continue to up date you on her progress.

Here is gadget with her sister, Gizmo sitting for her Christmas picture.
She is doing well, still full of energy. She is an absolute sweetheart.

When I first started looking for a new type of dog to get I did not have any idea that I would end up with a Cairn. After researching
multiple types of dogs I realized that Cairns fit my lifestyle the best. Then when I started looking for breeders I started to feel
overwhelmed. That is, until I found Tim and Bobbi Jo. The thing I loved about them is that they answered all my questions and kept me
updating throughout the entire process. When I emailed them, I got a response either the same day or within the next day. It was great
to find a breeder I considered more of a friend than a business person. Another thing that was wonderful was the pictures I received. I
got a new picture of my puppy, which I named Cleo, every week. Since I lived a few hours away I really appreciated this. Then when it
came time for Cleo to come live with me, the pick up procedure was another plus. Tim and Bobbi Jo met me half way between both of
our homes to give me Cleo and the papers that came along with her. Now Cleo is a little over eight months old and is the biggest joy in
my life. She is a wonderful, loving pup that enjoys spending time with just about anyone. Overall I am more than satisfied with my
decision to get a Cairn and to have gone through Tim and Bobbi Jo. I would recommend Tim and Bobbi Jo to anyone who likes having
a close and loyal relationship with the breeders. I am also thinking that in a few years I will be going back to Tim and Bobbi Jo in hopes
to find another puppy. I am very happy that I chose to go with the Powell's kennel. If anyone is looking for more information or would like
to contact me to hear more wonderful things about Tim and Bobbi Jo I would be more than thrilled to do so.
Thanks again Tim and Bobbi Jo,

Bobbi Jo is great to work with. She is a kind and gentle person who truly cares about the proper breeding and raising of puppies and
dogs. We live within an hour of the kennel, so we had the chance to visit on a few occasions. We picked out "Clover", an intelligent and
happy Westie, in fact, we call him "the happy little Westie". He makes us laugh! He has been a wonderful addition to our family, he is
currently 9 months old and is doing great. He has a great temperament and is a lot of fun on family walks in the country. We just love
him! Thanks Bobbi Jo and Tim, keep up the fine work! Keep breeding those "Happy Westies"!

We bought our puppy “Sullivan” from the Powell’s on March 31, 2007 . He is now nine months old and we couldn’t imagine our family
without him.
Our entire experience with Bobbi Jo and Tim was very positive. Once we did our homework on various breeds, I started to contact
breeders. If my inquiries were returned at all, the answers were short and left me feeling as though I was imposing. I got the
impression that most of the breeders we dealt with just wanted to make a sale.
Once I contacted PPF Kennels all that changed. Tim and Bobbi Jo seemed genuinely glad that I was doing my homework. They also
seemed concerned about the type of home their puppies would receive. They were able to refer books and answer every question that
we had. They were very accommodating and very well organized. I sent quite a few emails at all different hours and they were
answered within minutes it seemed. They must never sleep!
We finally decided on a little male Westie we named Sullivan. We received weekly updates and pictures of Sullivan until we picked him
up. Bobbi Jo and Tim were nice enough to meet us half way to deliver Sully.
We had Sully checked out by our own vet within a few days of bringing him home. Our vet said Sully was a “beautiful specimen” and
was impressed with his overall health and disposition. Sully has turned out to be the perfect match for our family. We have two
daughters ages 4 and 7 and they adore him! He is intelligent, bright, happy and athletic. He is not the least bit “yappy”. He loves
everyone and has not shown any type of aggression (unless you happen to be a chipmunk). We recently had him groomed and the
groomer was very impressed. He said Sully had the nicest coat of any Westie he had ever groomed. He was also impressed with Sully’
s disposition.
We have talked with people who didn’t find a good breeder. They’ve invested a lot of time and money only to be disappointed. It makes
all the difference in the world to work with a knowledgeable breeder and we are so glad we found Tim and Bobbi Jo. We are happy to
refer PPF Kennel to anyone looking for a new addition to the family.
Sincerely,

My husband purchased a Cairn Terrier for our family in December 2005. He researched many different breeds & breeders before we
decided to go with Tim & Bobbi Jo. They emailed us many pictures of our chosen puppy during the 8-week waiting period; we were so
excited when the day finally came to pick her up! We let our 5yr. old daughter pick the name - she chose Nolee Matilda. Immediately
after returning home, I took our new puppy to the vet for her checkup. The vet told me that she was a perfect cairn terrier in every way,
very healthy and happy. We discovered shortly after bringing Nolee home that I was expecting a baby! We were worried about how
Nolee would react to another little one on her territory ... we shouldn't have even given it any thought. She loves the baby almost as
much as she loves her 'big sister'. We have had a wonderful two years with her (we just celebrated her 2nd birthday on October 15th),
and look forward to many many more. Thank you so much for providing such a quality companion for our family!!

Just wanted to drop a line and say hello and to tell you how Ginger is doing. We absolutely love her to death and are so glad that we
made the decision to get her. House training was long and stressful...but we got through it and she hasn't had an accident in months!!
We just recently took her on vacation to the Outer Banks in N.C. and she behaved so well and was an angel during the 11 hour car ride.
Ginger has fit into the family so well and her personality keeps us entertained on a daily basis!! She is very hyper, and very playful...and
she is such a lover...she just loves when people come over to visit and she LOVES going for walks everyday!! Even Jim, who didn't think
he would want a small dog, fell in love with her immediately and they are inseperable!! Ginger is, however, a little peanut...she only
weighs 10lbs...and she is almost 8 months old!! I was just wondering how long it takes for them to be fully grown. (or maybe she is fully
grown...which would be fine with us because we love the size that she is!!) I was wondering if she was the runt of the litter and maybe is
destined to be little, or if she will keep growing. I just wanted to thank you so much for providing us with Ginger!! We are so happy to
have her as part of our family and look forward to sharing many wonderful years with her!! ~Megan Norrod
I can't say enough about Tim and Bobbi Jo and the lovable puppies I have obtained from them. When we first met, I had just tragically
lost my dear little Nelson to a truck. I was devastated and didn't know if I should get another dog right away or not. I then checked the
internet for Westie breeders close to home and found PPF Farms. I called them on a Sunday afternoon not expecting to be able to go
out there till later in the week but Tim said come on out now if I wanted. They had 2 males that were ready to go that didn't have homes.
Needless to say, I fell in love with the pups. Tim and Bobbi Jo let me play with the pups in the grass, not pushing me to any decision. I
finally decided on the one who is since known as Winston. He has been just the greatest dog and my trainer says she hasn't seen such
a faster learner in a while. Hes loving, playful, and we all know, just a little nutty in the good way westies are nutty. They were there for
me at a very low point and the dog I came home with has helped heal the wounds a thousand times over. The next spring, I contacted
Bobbi Jo, now wanting a companion for Winston and she said she had pups due the end of March. She notified me when they were
born, sent pictures, and I ended up choosing a little girlfriend for Winston. She is named Wendi. I waited eagerly each week for the pics
that were emailed to me showing her growing by leaps and bounds. Then she was finally 5 weeks old, and ready for a visit from her
new mom. Again, Bobbi Jo just let me play with Wendi,(and hold her sis too) and I asked a million questions and she asked about
Winston too. He couldn't visit but it would be soon enough as I was worried about the jealousy I was sure there would be because hes
so spoiled. The day I went to get Wendi to come home, she was all bathed and running around playing, waiting on me to take her home.
Bobbi Jo and Tim were there to see her off, after their very professionalism taking care of the business end of the transaction. If I were to
ever need another or anyone asks me where I got the "kids", I don't hesitate at all to direct them to PPF Farms. They really care about
their animals and that was clear seeing the rest of the dogs which they didn't mind showing me at all.
We have a Cairin terrier and decided we wanted another dog. My daughter Carrie wanted to look for a Westie and so she searched the
internet and found the website for these dogs and it was by far the best site for Westie's. We wrote back and forth to Bobbie Jo
numerous times and picked out what we thought was the best one, and she is !! We were supposed to pick her up earlier and I had to
make a trip to Florida and they agreed to keep her there for me. I named her Sophie and Bobbie Jo agreed to start calling her that right
away so she would get used to her name. We live in Virginia and drove up to Pa. to pick her up. It was snowing the day we picked her
up and we drove back down to Va. the same day. We tried to stop and let her out and she wanted nothing to do with going out in the
snow. She has turned out to be the most lovable dog we have ever had. She loves to be held on your shoulder like a baby and even
puts her head down while you are holding her.
She loves to follow me around the house and always wants to know where I am. She has a "cousin" living here also, her name is
Maggie. Sophie loves Maggie, but I can't say the same for Maggie! They get along ok. We would like to thank Bobbie Jo and her
husband for having this website for their dogs.

This past January, our family decided that we needed another "four legged" member added to the gang. I had always admired and
wanted a Westie, so the search began. We started searching the internet for "Westies in Pennsylvania" and found PPFFarms site. We
instantly loved the website and the information on it. I contacted Bobbi and told her we were looking for a female West Highland Terrier.
As luck would have it, she had a young litter and one female left! Sh ee-mailed us photos, and that was it, we had found our new "baby".
Over the months until Sophie was old enough to come home, Bobbi Jo sent us weekly updates and photos. We felt like we already had
Sophie with us, and we LIVED for those updates. We were so impressed with Bobbi's thoughtfulness, and also with how the whole
process worked so smoothly. We were thrilled when the day came to pick up Sophie. She is so much fun, and it seems as though she
has always been with us. She loves playing with our Border Collie, Baylee, and she chases our cat Benny constantly. She loves our
children, and was the easiest puppy I've ever worked with. I can't recommend PPFFarms highly enough, they are the BEST!!

Bobbi Jo,
Have to let you know what an absolute doll MacTavish is. He is a very bright little guy, is already responding to his name, knows
"outside", walks on a leash from day one, is doing stairs. His house training is going great, sleeps all night, and doen't fuss when it is
time to be put in his playpen.
He adores Alexander and loves to play with the cats, run the fenceline with the dogs on all three sides, doesn't bark (except when he
wants the cats to play) and takes correction well.
He came home extremely well socialized - you do great work with that.
His ears are starting to stand up. The left one is all the way up and the right is about halfway up. His coloring is turning more red
across his back. Will be interesting to see how he turns out.
You have a great breeding program and your dogs are great. I tell anyone thinking about getting a Westie or Cairn to check you out.
Thanks much,
Laurie
My mom decided she wanted a westie puppy so my search began to find one for her. I started looking on the internet for one and found
that there are alot of puppy mills out there and I knew that I did want to support that. The puppies were cheaper but there was no way I
wanted to be a part of that. Then I came across Bobbie Jo's website and talked to her about her puppies and read all the testimonals. I
was not close enough to visit her kennel but just talking to her I knew this was where I wanted to get my puppy. Bobbie Jo had a female
runt that she said once she was sure she was okay that she would let me purchase. I thought perfect...my mom always loves the runt of
the litter. Bobbie Jo met us about half way and we had the tiniest little ball of energy ever. My mom named her Philly Cream Cheese
and we call her CC for short. My two young kids just love her and she is the besr little dog I have ever seen around kids especially since
she is not always around them. My mom lives in CA and we live in WI and when we visit it is like CC has always been around kids. We
just love this dog.

Hi There,
I just wanted to drop you a line and let you know how "Harley" is doing... What a character, he is... soooo cute and so full of energy....
Did you start potty training him? He is doing great , in fact, he is teaching our 9 month old how to do it... haha... Our Max is 100 times his
size and wants to play with him, which Harley does not back down, i am afraid that Max will be too rough or step on him, so we keep
them separated while we are not around.... He had made himself at home as soon as we got home here after picking him up , never
cried once... very well behaved and very loved!!!!!! We will send you pictures as soon as my daughter puts them on here.... Thank you
again for everything!

Hi Bobbi Jo! Just wanted to give you an update on Tori. She is doing so well. She is adjusting quickly to walking on the lead and is
learning her boundaries with the Invisible Fence. She is so lovable and sweet and has had very few accidents in the house - I am really
glad I adopted her!
Take care, Beth
Hi. Bobbi, Just wanted to send you a couple of new pic's of Luna. She is great, still a little wild sometimes but we love her, she is my
little tail she follows me everywhere. She just achieved free roam of the house at night and when we leave to run errands, etc. Until now
we really couldn't trust her. She is 2 1/2 years old.
Thanks, Anna
Not too long ago I was looking at your website and zoie's baby pictures are on there. Here's some grown up pictures of her. She just
went to the westie picnic this weekend. She got to run the agility course and that was about it. It rained pretty hard.

Hi Bobbi Jo!
Just thought I'd send you a LONG overdue update about Baxter-my Cairn terrier... Baxter is now over a year old--time flies! He is a
healthy, 16 lb. ball of energy. He spends his days running around and playing with my German Shepherd, Nikki, she adores him! (The
cats, thus far have not been entirely receptive to his idea of play...but they are adjusting!) He is my constant companion, I don't know
what I would do without him. If I leave the room, he is by my side-so much so that he can get underfoot, but my reflexes are improving!
He sleeps with me everynight and I usually wake up with him laying on my back or curled under the covers. He really is a love. If
I'm on the computer too long, he'll get up on my lap and block me from the keyboard - I know how to take a hint! He's a silly little guy and
everyone that meets him-loves him!
I can't thank you enough for the time you took to ensure he would be healthy and happy and also the time you took with me...the
experience of getting him was wonderful. You really are great at what you do...I tell everyone who asks where I got him and how great
you were through the whole process. Hopefully, that will lead to more Cairn/Westie adoptions!
I've attached some newer pics for you--he really turned out wonderful! Thanks again! (I'll try to keep you updated on Baxter!)

Tim and Bobbi Jo,
Hi, my boyfriend Jason and I purchased our adorable little westie from you January 2007. We just wanted to send you an update on
her. We named her Cali May and she is an absolute joy, spoiled, and full of energy. She loves her toys and is obsessed with squeaky
toys. I want to thank you again for bringing her into our life. Attached are some pictures of her all grown up.
Thanks again,

Hi Tim and Bobbi Jo,
Sorry it took me so long to write, Chloe is doing great. She is having lots of fun. She likes to play with balls, especially balls that are twice
her size. I took her the vet last Tuesday and she got a clean bill of health. She goes back in a couple of weeks for her shots. I also
signed her up for kindergarten. She is such a joy. Although on Monday I thought someone had switched dogs on me because she was
just crazy. Yesterday I took her to Petsmart where they were having a birthday party. She meet lots of other dogs, got treats and had
doggie ice cream. We are enjoying her so much. I can’t thank you enough. I send more pictures from time to time as she grows.
Sincerely
Debby
Dear Bobbi Jo and Tim:
As Gweenie gets ready to celebrate her 1st birthday, I just want you to know that she is doing very well. She has such a loving
personality. She had a check-up at the vet's last Saturday and he said she is in fine shape. She is a big girl at 17 pounds. She and my
other Westie, Morgan (who is 11) have bonded well since Gweenie has come to understand the hierarchy of age. Gweenie also gets
along well with the cats, especially my 3 year old black cat, Chopper, who is a close playmate. They sit together at the storm door
watching the birds and squirrels at the feeders hanging from the tree when I have the front door open. She and Morgan love traveling in
the car together and she loves being outside when I am working in the yard. As soon as I get this new camera working, I will send some
pictures. Thank you so much for her!

Bobbi Jo,
I just wanted you to know how glad we are to have Ozzie in our lives. He has the most outgoing, loving personality. He never meets a
stranger. He thinks that everyone should love him and they usually do! It seems that he never stops running, and when he does, he
wants to be right in your lap. He's such a lap dog! Our children are now off to college, so he's our baby and he's spoiled rotten I'm
afraid.
We haven't seen any signs of allergies, which I know are pretty common in Westies. He's a really healthy, happy little guy. He now
weighs in at 16-1/2 lbs.
My daughter's big "accomplishment" during her Christmas break was teaching Ozzie how to jump up on the furniture. In this picture he
managed to get up on the table, but he couldn't figure out how to get down! He had to be rescued.
I would recommend your Westies for personality and breeding to anyone who would ask. Thanks again for "hooking us up" with Ozzie,
and by the way, the name really suits him. He's a little devil, but it's hard to stay upset with him because he just so cute!

have a little boy to play with. He is happy, healthy and eating great. Stays in a large crate while I'm at work and then runs and plays inside
when I get home. Sleeps with me at night so far. He loves to be held, but is the happiest boy when he's running around with Gracie or
sitting on the golden retrievers tails. He's such a cutie. I will keep you updated with pictures.
Attached are two, one with Gracie the day after I got him and one taken last night.

After having one heck of a year, my husband said he wanted to get me an early Christmas present. A puppy, any kind. I did a lot of
research and decided on a smaller dog, the Westie. Upon deciding on a breed, my next quest was to find a breeder. Many told me to
stay local but there were no local Westie breeders.So, after much searching on the net, I found Tim & Bobbi Jo. They answered all of my
questions and even met us half way on "puppy pick up" day. Dixie, our newest fur child, stole our hearts(from the very first picture we
saw)but moreso, in that first moment when Bobbi Jo placed her in my arms. She has helped me relax in more ways than one. And I
thank the Powells for that.

Hey Bobbi Jo,
Thanks for the advice..I got a wire mesh crate...he's doing pretty good. I wanted to tell you that we took him to the vet and of course he's a
nice healthy westie...THIS IS WHAT I WANT YOU TO KNOW: The vet was very impressed with your kennel practices. She was very
pleased and very congratulatory about the amount of shots he's had and the worming. They were also impressed with your record
keeping. They asked me the name of your kennel and where you're located. So GREAT JOB! See, Someone notices your hard work.
Thanks, Jeannie S.
Good evening Tim and Bobbi jo;
Well its the day before the eve of Angel's first birthday and she's doing very well. She is sixteen pounds and around eleven inches tall
and a true female Westie. She is so smart, wakes me up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, can't think of the last time she
had an accident in the house, she is known by everyone in the county, we were in the hardware store the other day and one of the
employees said here's Angel back to visit, she goes everywhere with me that dog's are allowed and knows that the road we live on is
her's, she loves it here. She is one happy and content little girl. We are going to celebrate her b/day, we bought her a new lounge, new
food and water bowl's and several toy's, one is a new toy that we gave to her when we first brought her home. She makes a big fuss
when Pam comes home from work, I'll tell her go look for mommy she should be home soon she'll go to the door lay down ant when
she sees the car pull in the driveway jumps up and down against the door until Pam gets in the door, then spends the next ten minutes
licking her and rolling over for a tummy rub. She has a few friends in the neighborhood, one a two year old German shepherd and when
Luna is taken for a walk her and Angel play the whole time there here, Angel, being by far the smaller of the two, chases Luna, (the
shepherd) and then runs away to the steps of the house under my legs, its so funny, I guess you have to be there to appreciate it. She is
truly one of the family, and she knows it.
Again, and we can't thank you enough, thank you so much for bringing Angel and I, and Pam together, you indeed do produce sociable
dog's. I still want another Westie pup, if I do say so myself, I've trained her well, and she does understand English.
Well how are you two doing, fine I hope. I presume you're getting ready for the holiday's were ready here. Had to get a Christmas
stocking for Angel, you know to put her bones and toys in. Everyone say's she's so spoiled, and maybe she is, I don't know I'm strict with
her but I give her the best of everything.
Just wanted to let you know how she's doing on this the day before the eve of her 1st birthday. She's safe and comfortable, you couldn't
have picked two better puppy parents then us. If I do say so myself.
Hope you two have the best thanksgiving, and the most peaceful Christmas two people could have.
Merry Christmas &
A Happy New Year
Rich, Pam & Angel Snowberry
Bobbie Jo,
Just had to send you a couple recent pics of our westie sammie jo.
I can't tell you enough how very much we enjoy him. He is everything that i had hoped for as an addition to our family and more!
Sammie is 2 1/2 years old now ... and can go from one extreme to another. When you get down on the floor to romp with him, he races
through the house like a streak. But on the opposite hand, seems to enjoy lounging with whoever is just lying around just as much.
The bond between he and our 7 year old st bernard is almost inseparable. They play and pick just like any other brother and sister will,
but look like buddies ready to take on the world when they stand shoulder to kneecap surveying the woods for kitties or squirrels.
Sammie is very calm and protective with our new 9 month old granddaughter ... and she takes to him like he is her dog.
I keep trying to talk my wife into having either another westie or a carin terrier ... i may be calling again some day
Thanks again ... Jeff, Lori, Amanda, Jenna, and Ava
Hello Powells,
I figured you would like to know how little Kenny is doing. He is probably the nicest, most well behaved dog I have ever met. It really
is incredible how well he gets along with people and other animals.
He is also completely healthy, and is happy almost all the time. I have honestly never seen him angry once, and the only time he makes
a noise is when someone leaves the room he is in. It's funny because even if it is a new person that he has only known for a minute, he
starts to cry the second they leave. It is probably the cutest thing I have ever seen. He really is a joy to myself and my family, and I thank
you very much for providing such a beautiful dog. Here are a couple of pictures of him that I took on Christmas eve. As you can see, he
is a perfect, happy little puppy. Within the next year, I may just want to get him a little playmate, so hopefully you will have more puppies
available. Again, thank you so much, I couldn't imagine a better dog than him.
Sincerely,
Anthony Dutton
Happy New Year Powells:
Morgan is doing great. She eats like a horse, so she has grown quite a bit.
She's the smartest student in Puppy Class which started last week. She is loving meeting new friends and family. This weekend, we
took her to our place in the Poconos and she had a ball romping in the snow and woods.
Thanks for a great pup.
Doug and Joan Johnson
Tim and Bobbi Jo,
It's hard to believe our little Maggie has been with us for over two years now.
She is as smart as a whip, loves our grand-kids and gets along well with our cats and our Akita George.
We are talking about getting her a brother when the time is right.
Thought I would send some recent pictures.
Best regards.
Dan Rafferty
Tim & Bobbi Jo,
I can't begin to tell you how thrilled we are having Bridgett. She has given us so much joy, my wife and I love her so much. She is the
sweetest dog I've ever had. She has never met a stranger and has to speak to everyone she encounters. She was easy to train, knows
lots of tricks and she knows how to make us feel sorry for her when she doesn't get her way. The expressions on her face are amazing,
when you talk to her she seems to understand every word. I would recommend your kennel to anyone wanting such a loving dog. This
picture was taken last week, she is going to be 2 1/2 years old in March. If you would like, please post to your site.
Thanks for the joy of owning our first Westie.

Hi Bobby Jo!!
Just thought I would give you an update on Clover...she's doing great. She has already been to the vet twice and the vet said she is a
perfect puppy!! She loves to play in the sand, as you can probably tell in the picture!! Thanks again!!

Hi Tim and Bobby Jo,
We hope you and your family are well. Just thought we would drop you a line and let you know how Maddie is doing over here in CT.
Her First year is almost here and she is doing GREAT! She is loving the snow. In the summer she loved the paddling pool we got her for
cooling off. She also has great fun with our two cats, everybody gets on really well and everyone knows there place..lol I'm attaching a
picture for you. This was taken just a couple of days ago. She really is everything (and more) we asked for, you did a wonderful job with
our requests, just another difference between people who breed with care compared to those merely in it for the money. Many Thanks
once again.
Dave, Tammy and Maddie
and the cats:-)
Dear Tim & Bobby Jo,
We bought our Cairn, Pongo, from you almost two years ago. I keep meaning to write to you and send pictures, but I'm only now getting
around to it. We are really enjoying him. He is a great family dog and loves my two kids and my other (senior) dog. We were looking for
a dog that would be playful and energetic and he is all of that. I had heard that Cairn's didn't make good lap dogs, but Pongo loves to
curl up with me (especially when he sees me get a blanket out). He's a real sweetheart and very friendly with other dogs that he meets
on our walks. We haven't had any medical problems with him at all and doing business with you all was a great experience.

Bobbi Jo-
Merry Christmas to you and your family! I just wanted to drop a small note (much overdo...) to tell you what a wonderful addition 'Rory'
has been to the family. Our 2 sons are in absolute love with her, and her with them! My husband and I have been talking about coming
back in the spring to get her a 'brother', our poor cat just can't keep up with her.
Happy Holidays,
Julie Moreau
We are so proud of your little girl Lacie. As you can see, she has turned out to be beautiful. Smart as a whip and such a little lover. She
hates to take a bath or get her hair brushed and is such a tom-boy, but she gets the bath and brushing anyway. She does this thing
where she takes her toys and hides them around the house, sometime taking 10 minutes to find the perfect place to hide it.
Cloth toys she tears up so we've gotten her the hard rubber ones. The first morning we had snow, she barked at it outside. She now
runs and jumps and eats it.
Needless to say, we love her. Thank you.
Merry Christmas to you and yours, with all the blessings that God can give.
Penny and David Ray
Hi Folks,
Just wanted you to know that Katie is doing well here in Delaware. She has gained weight to about seven pounds. She is an active and
fun loving pup. We are so pleased to have her here in our home. She has trained very well and we look forward to every day in our
experience with her.
I will try to attach a picture of her taken a couple of days ago. Have a great Holiday Season. I will continue to up date you on her progress.

Here is gadget with her sister, Gizmo sitting for her Christmas picture.
She is doing well, still full of energy. She is an absolute sweetheart.

When I first started looking for a new type of dog to get I did not have any idea that I would end up with a Cairn. After researching
multiple types of dogs I realized that Cairns fit my lifestyle the best. Then when I started looking for breeders I started to feel
overwhelmed. That is, until I found Tim and Bobbi Jo. The thing I loved about them is that they answered all my questions and kept me
updating throughout the entire process. When I emailed them, I got a response either the same day or within the next day. It was great
to find a breeder I considered more of a friend than a business person. Another thing that was wonderful was the pictures I received. I
got a new picture of my puppy, which I named Cleo, every week. Since I lived a few hours away I really appreciated this. Then when it
came time for Cleo to come live with me, the pick up procedure was another plus. Tim and Bobbi Jo met me half way between both of
our homes to give me Cleo and the papers that came along with her. Now Cleo is a little over eight months old and is the biggest joy in
my life. She is a wonderful, loving pup that enjoys spending time with just about anyone. Overall I am more than satisfied with my
decision to get a Cairn and to have gone through Tim and Bobbi Jo. I would recommend Tim and Bobbi Jo to anyone who likes having
a close and loyal relationship with the breeders. I am also thinking that in a few years I will be going back to Tim and Bobbi Jo in hopes
to find another puppy. I am very happy that I chose to go with the Powell's kennel. If anyone is looking for more information or would like
to contact me to hear more wonderful things about Tim and Bobbi Jo I would be more than thrilled to do so.
Thanks again Tim and Bobbi Jo,
Jessica Noonan

Bobbi Jo is great to work with. She is a kind and gentle person who truly cares about the proper breeding and raising of puppies and
dogs. We live within an hour of the kennel, so we had the chance to visit on a few occasions. We picked out "Clover", an intelligent and
happy Westie, in fact, we call him "the happy little Westie". He makes us laugh! He has been a wonderful addition to our family, he is
currently 9 months old and is doing great. He has a great temperament and is a lot of fun on family walks in the country. We just love
him! Thanks Bobbi Jo and Tim, keep up the fine work! Keep breeding those "Happy Westies"!

We bought our puppy “Sullivan” from the Powell’s on March 31, 2007 . He is now nine months old and we couldn’t imagine our family
without him.
Our entire experience with Bobbi Jo and Tim was very positive. Once we did our homework on various breeds, I started to contact
breeders. If my inquiries were returned at all, the answers were short and left me feeling as though I was imposing. I got the
impression that most of the breeders we dealt with just wanted to make a sale.
Once I contacted PPF Kennels all that changed. Tim and Bobbi Jo seemed genuinely glad that I was doing my homework. They also
seemed concerned about the type of home their puppies would receive. They were able to refer books and answer every question that
we had. They were very accommodating and very well organized. I sent quite a few emails at all different hours and they were
answered within minutes it seemed. They must never sleep!
We finally decided on a little male Westie we named Sullivan. We received weekly updates and pictures of Sullivan until we picked him
up. Bobbi Jo and Tim were nice enough to meet us half way to deliver Sully.
We had Sully checked out by our own vet within a few days of bringing him home. Our vet said Sully was a “beautiful specimen” and
was impressed with his overall health and disposition. Sully has turned out to be the perfect match for our family. We have two
daughters ages 4 and 7 and they adore him! He is intelligent, bright, happy and athletic. He is not the least bit “yappy”. He loves
everyone and has not shown any type of aggression (unless you happen to be a chipmunk). We recently had him groomed and the
groomer was very impressed. He said Sully had the nicest coat of any Westie he had ever groomed. He was also impressed with Sully’
s disposition.
We have talked with people who didn’t find a good breeder. They’ve invested a lot of time and money only to be disappointed. It makes
all the difference in the world to work with a knowledgeable breeder and we are so glad we found Tim and Bobbi Jo. We are happy to
refer PPF Kennel to anyone looking for a new addition to the family.
Sincerely,

My husband purchased a Cairn Terrier for our family in December 2005. He researched many different breeds & breeders before we
decided to go with Tim & Bobbi Jo. They emailed us many pictures of our chosen puppy during the 8-week waiting period; we were so
excited when the day finally came to pick her up! We let our 5yr. old daughter pick the name - she chose Nolee Matilda. Immediately
after returning home, I took our new puppy to the vet for her checkup. The vet told me that she was a perfect cairn terrier in every way,
very healthy and happy. We discovered shortly after bringing Nolee home that I was expecting a baby! We were worried about how
Nolee would react to another little one on her territory ... we shouldn't have even given it any thought. She loves the baby almost as
much as she loves her 'big sister'. We have had a wonderful two years with her (we just celebrated her 2nd birthday on October 15th),
and look forward to many many more. Thank you so much for providing such a quality companion for our family!!

Just wanted to drop a line and say hello and to tell you how Ginger is doing. We absolutely love her to death and are so glad that we
made the decision to get her. House training was long and stressful...but we got through it and she hasn't had an accident in months!!
We just recently took her on vacation to the Outer Banks in N.C. and she behaved so well and was an angel during the 11 hour car ride.
Ginger has fit into the family so well and her personality keeps us entertained on a daily basis!! She is very hyper, and very playful...and
she is such a lover...she just loves when people come over to visit and she LOVES going for walks everyday!! Even Jim, who didn't think
he would want a small dog, fell in love with her immediately and they are inseperable!! Ginger is, however, a little peanut...she only
weighs 10lbs...and she is almost 8 months old!! I was just wondering how long it takes for them to be fully grown. (or maybe she is fully
grown...which would be fine with us because we love the size that she is!!) I was wondering if she was the runt of the litter and maybe is
destined to be little, or if she will keep growing. I just wanted to thank you so much for providing us with Ginger!! We are so happy to
have her as part of our family and look forward to sharing many wonderful years with her!! ~Megan Norrod
I can't say enough about Tim and Bobbi Jo and the lovable puppies I have obtained from them. When we first met, I had just tragically
lost my dear little Nelson to a truck. I was devastated and didn't know if I should get another dog right away or not. I then checked the
internet for Westie breeders close to home and found PPF Farms. I called them on a Sunday afternoon not expecting to be able to go
out there till later in the week but Tim said come on out now if I wanted. They had 2 males that were ready to go that didn't have homes.
Needless to say, I fell in love with the pups. Tim and Bobbi Jo let me play with the pups in the grass, not pushing me to any decision. I
finally decided on the one who is since known as Winston. He has been just the greatest dog and my trainer says she hasn't seen such
a faster learner in a while. Hes loving, playful, and we all know, just a little nutty in the good way westies are nutty. They were there for
me at a very low point and the dog I came home with has helped heal the wounds a thousand times over. The next spring, I contacted
Bobbi Jo, now wanting a companion for Winston and she said she had pups due the end of March. She notified me when they were
born, sent pictures, and I ended up choosing a little girlfriend for Winston. She is named Wendi. I waited eagerly each week for the pics
that were emailed to me showing her growing by leaps and bounds. Then she was finally 5 weeks old, and ready for a visit from her
new mom. Again, Bobbi Jo just let me play with Wendi,(and hold her sis too) and I asked a million questions and she asked about
Winston too. He couldn't visit but it would be soon enough as I was worried about the jealousy I was sure there would be because hes
so spoiled. The day I went to get Wendi to come home, she was all bathed and running around playing, waiting on me to take her home.
Bobbi Jo and Tim were there to see her off, after their very professionalism taking care of the business end of the transaction. If I were to
ever need another or anyone asks me where I got the "kids", I don't hesitate at all to direct them to PPF Farms. They really care about
their animals and that was clear seeing the rest of the dogs which they didn't mind showing me at all.
We have a Cairin terrier and decided we wanted another dog. My daughter Carrie wanted to look for a Westie and so she searched the
internet and found the website for these dogs and it was by far the best site for Westie's. We wrote back and forth to Bobbie Jo
numerous times and picked out what we thought was the best one, and she is !! We were supposed to pick her up earlier and I had to
make a trip to Florida and they agreed to keep her there for me. I named her Sophie and Bobbie Jo agreed to start calling her that right
away so she would get used to her name. We live in Virginia and drove up to Pa. to pick her up. It was snowing the day we picked her
up and we drove back down to Va. the same day. We tried to stop and let her out and she wanted nothing to do with going out in the
snow. She has turned out to be the most lovable dog we have ever had. She loves to be held on your shoulder like a baby and even
puts her head down while you are holding her.
She loves to follow me around the house and always wants to know where I am. She has a "cousin" living here also, her name is
Maggie. Sophie loves Maggie, but I can't say the same for Maggie! They get along ok. We would like to thank Bobbie Jo and her
husband for having this website for their dogs.

This past January, our family decided that we needed another "four legged" member added to the gang. I had always admired and
wanted a Westie, so the search began. We started searching the internet for "Westies in Pennsylvania" and found PPFFarms site. We
instantly loved the website and the information on it. I contacted Bobbi and told her we were looking for a female West Highland Terrier.
As luck would have it, she had a young litter and one female left! Sh ee-mailed us photos, and that was it, we had found our new "baby".
Over the months until Sophie was old enough to come home, Bobbi Jo sent us weekly updates and photos. We felt like we already had
Sophie with us, and we LIVED for those updates. We were so impressed with Bobbi's thoughtfulness, and also with how the whole
process worked so smoothly. We were thrilled when the day came to pick up Sophie. She is so much fun, and it seems as though she
has always been with us. She loves playing with our Border Collie, Baylee, and she chases our cat Benny constantly. She loves our
children, and was the easiest puppy I've ever worked with. I can't recommend PPFFarms highly enough, they are the BEST!!

Bobbi Jo,
Have to let you know what an absolute doll MacTavish is. He is a very bright little guy, is already responding to his name, knows
"outside", walks on a leash from day one, is doing stairs. His house training is going great, sleeps all night, and doen't fuss when it is
time to be put in his playpen.
He adores Alexander and loves to play with the cats, run the fenceline with the dogs on all three sides, doesn't bark (except when he
wants the cats to play) and takes correction well.
He came home extremely well socialized - you do great work with that.
His ears are starting to stand up. The left one is all the way up and the right is about halfway up. His coloring is turning more red
across his back. Will be interesting to see how he turns out.
You have a great breeding program and your dogs are great. I tell anyone thinking about getting a Westie or Cairn to check you out.
Thanks much,
Laurie
My mom decided she wanted a westie puppy so my search began to find one for her. I started looking on the internet for one and found
that there are alot of puppy mills out there and I knew that I did want to support that. The puppies were cheaper but there was no way I
wanted to be a part of that. Then I came across Bobbie Jo's website and talked to her about her puppies and read all the testimonals. I
was not close enough to visit her kennel but just talking to her I knew this was where I wanted to get my puppy. Bobbie Jo had a female
runt that she said once she was sure she was okay that she would let me purchase. I thought perfect...my mom always loves the runt of
the litter. Bobbie Jo met us about half way and we had the tiniest little ball of energy ever. My mom named her Philly Cream Cheese
and we call her CC for short. My two young kids just love her and she is the besr little dog I have ever seen around kids especially since
she is not always around them. My mom lives in CA and we live in WI and when we visit it is like CC has always been around kids. We
just love this dog.

Hi There,
I just wanted to drop you a line and let you know how "Harley" is doing... What a character, he is... soooo cute and so full of energy....
Did you start potty training him? He is doing great , in fact, he is teaching our 9 month old how to do it... haha... Our Max is 100 times his
size and wants to play with him, which Harley does not back down, i am afraid that Max will be too rough or step on him, so we keep
them separated while we are not around.... He had made himself at home as soon as we got home here after picking him up , never
cried once... very well behaved and very loved!!!!!! We will send you pictures as soon as my daughter puts them on here.... Thank you
again for everything!

Hi Bobbi Jo! Just wanted to give you an update on Tori. She is doing so well. She is adjusting quickly to walking on the lead and is
learning her boundaries with the Invisible Fence. She is so lovable and sweet and has had very few accidents in the house - I am really
glad I adopted her!
Take care, Beth
Hi. Bobbi, Just wanted to send you a couple of new pic's of Luna. She is great, still a little wild sometimes but we love her, she is my
little tail she follows me everywhere. She just achieved free roam of the house at night and when we leave to run errands, etc. Until now
we really couldn't trust her. She is 2 1/2 years old.
Thanks, Anna
Not too long ago I was looking at your website and zoie's baby pictures are on there. Here's some grown up pictures of her. She just
went to the westie picnic this weekend. She got to run the agility course and that was about it. It rained pretty hard.

Hi Bobbi Jo!
Just thought I'd send you a LONG overdue update about Baxter-my Cairn terrier... Baxter is now over a year old--time flies! He is a
healthy, 16 lb. ball of energy. He spends his days running around and playing with my German Shepherd, Nikki, she adores him! (The
cats, thus far have not been entirely receptive to his idea of play...but they are adjusting!) He is my constant companion, I don't know
what I would do without him. If I leave the room, he is by my side-so much so that he can get underfoot, but my reflexes are improving!
He sleeps with me everynight and I usually wake up with him laying on my back or curled under the covers. He really is a love. If
I'm on the computer too long, he'll get up on my lap and block me from the keyboard - I know how to take a hint! He's a silly little guy and
everyone that meets him-loves him!
I can't thank you enough for the time you took to ensure he would be healthy and happy and also the time you took with me...the
experience of getting him was wonderful. You really are great at what you do...I tell everyone who asks where I got him and how great
you were through the whole process. Hopefully, that will lead to more Cairn/Westie adoptions!
I've attached some newer pics for you--he really turned out wonderful! Thanks again! (I'll try to keep you updated on Baxter!)

Tim and Bobbi Jo,
Hi, my boyfriend Jason and I purchased our adorable little westie from you January 2007. We just wanted to send you an update on
her. We named her Cali May and she is an absolute joy, spoiled, and full of energy. She loves her toys and is obsessed with squeaky
toys. I want to thank you again for bringing her into our life. Attached are some pictures of her all grown up.
Thanks again,

Hi Tim and Bobbi Jo,
Sorry it took me so long to write, Chloe is doing great. She is having lots of fun. She likes to play with balls, especially balls that are twice
her size. I took her the vet last Tuesday and she got a clean bill of health. She goes back in a couple of weeks for her shots. I also
signed her up for kindergarten. She is such a joy. Although on Monday I thought someone had switched dogs on me because she was
just crazy. Yesterday I took her to Petsmart where they were having a birthday party. She meet lots of other dogs, got treats and had
doggie ice cream. We are enjoying her so much. I can’t thank you enough. I send more pictures from time to time as she grows.
Sincerely
Debby
Dear Bobbi Jo and Tim:
As Gweenie gets ready to celebrate her 1st birthday, I just want you to know that she is doing very well. She has such a loving
personality. She had a check-up at the vet's last Saturday and he said she is in fine shape. She is a big girl at 17 pounds. She and my
other Westie, Morgan (who is 11) have bonded well since Gweenie has come to understand the hierarchy of age. Gweenie also gets
along well with the cats, especially my 3 year old black cat, Chopper, who is a close playmate. They sit together at the storm door
watching the birds and squirrels at the feeders hanging from the tree when I have the front door open. She and Morgan love traveling in
the car together and she loves being outside when I am working in the yard. As soon as I get this new camera working, I will send some
pictures. Thank you so much for her!
Syndi Holmes
Bobbi Jo,
I just wanted you to know how glad we are to have Ozzie in our lives. He has the most outgoing, loving personality. He never meets a
stranger. He thinks that everyone should love him and they usually do! It seems that he never stops running, and when he does, he
wants to be right in your lap. He's such a lap dog! Our children are now off to college, so he's our baby and he's spoiled rotten I'm
afraid.
We haven't seen any signs of allergies, which I know are pretty common in Westies. He's a really healthy, happy little guy. He now
weighs in at 16-1/2 lbs.
My daughter's big "accomplishment" during her Christmas break was teaching Ozzie how to jump up on the furniture. In this picture he
managed to get up on the table, but he couldn't figure out how to get down! He had to be rescued.
I would recommend your Westies for personality and breeding to anyone who would ask. Thanks again for "hooking us up" with Ozzie,
and by the way, the name really suits him. He's a little devil, but it's hard to stay upset with him because he just so cute!
