Subject: Re: advice for dog for mag?

Mag,

Check out Westie Rescue in CA, state or regional affiliations. Very often people purchase Westies and simply don't have the time for them. They weigh between 18-23 pounds. The bitches are smaller. I'd recommend a male, as they'd bond a bit better with you, given you're an old broad :)

I'd also recommend the Lhasa Apso; great guard dog.

Both the Westie and the Lhasa are very quick to learn; love to learn, actually.

I've had 3 Cairns; they're earth dogs and all mine tended to mind everyone's business but their own. In fact, with my very first Cairn, I called an obedience trainer. After he stopped laughing, he said he kicked 4 of the little SOB's out of his obedience class. He trained mine privately at my home and found him very quick. I think it's because Mr. Clancy was so tuned into my mobility limitations that he was trying to 'help'. He was a very clever dog :)

My current terrier, the Australian Silky is a barker. I've never had a barker before. He doesn't bloody shut up! It's the Yorkie influence in him. He spent his life tethered to a kitchen cabinet doorknob for 8-10 hours a day til the rescue lady took him and handed him over to me. Once in my care, he blossomed. He's even learning to put away his toys! :)

If you google, Westie Rescue, California, you should see quite an extensive list of reputable organisations whose function is to rehome abandoned, neglected or abused dogs.

Hope this helps.

BTW, did I ever send you guys a pic of Mr. Digby. I've got a lovely shot of him sporting his Christmas 'do', clutching one of his Christmas prezzies. So cute! :)

Cheers!

Carla
