My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

We have 8 of the cutest Westie puppies you have ever seen. They are 10 weeks old and are full of it! 
We got their mommies from a puppy mill breeder and they were already pregnant. Both mommies had babies on the same day, July 28th, so they shared the nursery. As soon as the babies could move around, they were all one big litter with 2 mommies sharing the duties. It has been amazing. I could watch them all day. In the little clip attached, one of the mommies has just shown them how to shred a whole roll of paper towels, and they are loving the mess!
Puppymill babies are taken away from their mommies when they are 4 or 5 wks old, to go to the brokers facility to be evaluated and prepped to be in the pet store at 8 weeks. When puppies are born at my house, the mommies can stay with the babies as long as they want to, and it is such a joy to watch the mommies as they get to experience teaching and playing with their "older" babies, for probably the first time.
These puppies will only go to homes with a fenced yard, and we want them to have a companion dog or some children in the family. They are way too social to be "only" dogs, and much to active to be restricted to just leash walking.

You might find this manual interesting. You will learn what kind of life the mommies had. Because these puppies were born at my house, and have never seen a puppy mill, none of this applies to them.
