Actually my male westie has a cream color is due to the weather over here n another thing he is on medication because he has skin problems that comes in his genetic. So the medication will also affect the color of his fur.

We imported him back from Czech, and it really took time for him to adopt the weather over here. Previously he was really pure white until back here the color slowly changed. Now his skin is improving and he is indeed a pure breed westie.

maybe can try botak ur male, then let the hair regrow. During this time feed him fish oil, think will help.

You're gonna laugh when Pennywise responds to this thread. His male Westie is also named Casper.

My Westies are ok. Sparky likes to lick his paws which explains the discoloration there. Also likes to lick his hind legs so sometimes no hair there too. Buffy just finished her 1st heat and keeping the both of them apart was very tiring.

OMG OMG OMG OMG!!! OMGGGGG!!!... yet another Westie lover!! Yahooo!!! Finally got Westie thread!! And Casper too!!

My male Westie also name Casper. He is 1 year and 7 months old. I got him on 1st Jan 2007. My female Westie is Moonie because she was born during Mooncake Festival so we named her after the Moon. I got her around October last year. She is now 9 months old!

Oh man oh man... Let me post up some picture... Dual Casper Westie!!!! Hahahaha...

Here are some picture from Chinese New Year 2008. It was around this time I shaved Casper bald, looking like a Pitbull Terrier and he hates me for it. Now, 3 months had passed and his fur is starting to grow back. He looks so hansem now.

Casper with his pillow. He do hamsap things on this pillow which is now taken away from him.

Added on May 22, 2008, 2:42 pmYea, he can try that but then do not cut to the skin as growing out new fur may change the fur color due to pigmentation. That's what I was told last time and best part is, the dog is going to hate him for it.

Wash with Malaseb if his paw is discolored / red. This happened with my gf's Jap Spitz from Aus. It works! Be caution that Malaseb is poisonous.

Omg, Moonie first heat ended some time ago. Casper went totally nuts over it. So nuts that he's grumpy, growling, moaning like Mr. Bean. He even injured himself when he tries to get close to Moonie once because he fell from a chair and broke his nails... splash, blood everywhere.

you mentioned Malaseb before and i got it from Dr Lian about a month ago. so trying it out. how often should i use it ah? with every weekly shower?

Sparky's mood and behavior totally changed during the 2-3 weeks of Buffy's heat. He whined, barks to want to get to her, pee and mark all around Buffy's cage and sleeping area (telling others to keep away from his byatch... )

For almost 2 weeks, they cannot play with each other as he kept wanting to hump her. Am just glad it is over for now.

Pennywise, you plan to mate them in 2nd or 3rd heat?

westies is indeed cute <3
but seldom hear anything from the owner and I think it's quiet hard to find isn't it?
glad to hear there's a new thread for them...
keep posting pic please... hehe

I would say use Malaseb everytime you bath him. Try to soak his paw in it for 5 minutes or so before rinsing it off. Then wash with shampoo as per normal.

I never imagined how powerful the side effects are on Casper. I thought the stories I read was exaggerated until I experience it first hand. Casper literally went crazy and all the rotaning he get wont stop him. He stop at nothing. Even when he fell off the metal chair with his nails stuck and broken. Blood gushing out, he'd still trying his best to get to her.

Casper dont know how to hump Moonie though, he humps the pillow and it must be mental stress for him. I had to keep them apart - Moonie sleep in the living hall and Casper sleep in the kitchen. Moonie also know how to protect herself each time Casper goes behind her. She's smart or probably not ready. I was told that once the female is ready, she will let the male mount her.

nice westie u guys having. all having a pair of westies. planning to breed them?

My Next door neighbour got a WESTIE...

that's the plan!

westie so exp. fat tat loh.

They are no longer expensive these days.


ihawk98,
Here is what I posted some time back. This is how Casper behaved when Moonie was on her first heat.


"OMG!!

These few days, Moonie heat cycle is coming to an end. So she stopped bleeding and we stopped making her wear Momy Poko. However, Casper starts to behave strangely.

Casper WHINES A LOT! He whines, he grunts, he sort-of like mumble and soft bark, whining and crying. Casper is also trembling VERY HARD. This morning, I come downstairs and see him tremble until the cage also shaking. Casper also bark a lot more than usualy, practically at EVERYTHING including my gf when she comes over, etc. Casper can bark louder and louder and whenever my sister ask him to stops, he go louder somemore until like sore-throat sound come out.

We had no choice that we had to buy him a muzzle because morning he barks, night he barks. All day around, he trembles - whether it's in the cage or out in our arms.

Finally, I saw what's going on. Casper tried to MOUNT Moonie for sexual intercourse and Moonie ALWAYS growl and snap at him, Moonie will want to bite Casper whenever she felt threatened.

Today, we went for an evening walk. While outside, his mind wandered off so it was fine. When we came home, I showered both of them outside the house. When I am done with them, I brought them in and let each of them sit on a human-size metal chair, so I can dry them with the hair-dryer. When I went to lock the door, Casper is up to his mischiefs again, he tried to climb over to Moonie's chair to hump her. There, he fell and broke one of his hind-leg nail cause it got stuck in the holes of the chair (This never happened before in the 15 months I've had him). There was a LOT of blood... ALL OVER and I panicked, wipe the blood, look at him, saw his nail broke half. I had to put disinfectant on it, dress the wound, etc.

The moment I am done with them, I put them down and there he goes AGAIN! Mount on Moonie but Moonie attacked him and push him away. Then he goes one corner, whining and grunting (like complaining), then he come again and again and again. When I separate them into their cages. Moonie lie down on her cage (side by side with Casper) and Casper was like trying hard to reach out to her. Moonie growled in annoyance and went to the other end of the cage.

Are dogs' sexual urges so strong? So strong until the behaviour go nuts? Barking non-stop? Whining? Growling? Trembling? IS THIS NORMAL?"

larry, ur hse is huge.

is westie a outdoor dog?

ok your Moonie is fierce...

Buffy actually didn't mind the attention from Sparky. But she was very lethargic and honestly, we read that in the 2nd week of being in heat, she will let any dog mount her. And Sparky just tried to figure out how to open her cage from all sides. The urge is very strong and no amount of beating him is gonna stop him. Even when he was laying down on the floor, you can see his backside doing the humping motion on the floor.

my boy is almost 1 year old and he still duno what is it about. trying to hump me a few times b4 but after 2 sec move away duno what happen. keke

really??then must offer us the best price wor!
then i can promote for u!
haha~
