Please note: any applications over two years old may not be followed up with unless you have reached out to inquire again to let us know you are still interested in a westie. We breed on occasion, but at times it may be a year or so between litters depending on our dogs and our activities! We strive to match each puppy/retired adult in the best home to meet their needs to ensure they and their families are happy with their addition to the family!
Update as of Feb 15, 2026: We are a small hobby breeder and unfortunately we have had two consecutive singleton litters so there are a number of people not able to get a pet puppy. Please advise that the wait time may be lengthy (depending on if others have not obtained a puppy elsewhere by the time we have puppies available). Please add details of when you would like to have a puppy or adult if available. Please reach out to inquire by contacting tara@mcraegan.com if you would like to see if we have more success going forward.
