I'm the breeder behind Lonach Westies located in Merrimack, NH. I am a small hobby breeder of carefully selected Westies. I breed to the club standards, and it is my goal to better the breed. I hand-raise all of my dogs with love in my home. I have high expectations for my puppies and make sure to place each one with an enriching and loving family complementary to their personality and ability!
Q. & A. with Christine
Why did you start breeding?
My dogs are excellent representations of the breed, and I am proud to continue their line. I breed to help ensure the future of the breed and to improve upon my dogs' fantastic traits with each generation.
What makes your program special?
When I bring a life into the world, I make sure it gets the best start possible. This includes proper health care and socialization for each puppy, but it starts even earlier than birth. I set my puppies up for success by carefully selecting the parents of each litter, keeping in mind factors such as health, temperament, and ability. My goal is to choose parents whose genes will bring out the best qualities in each other and produce well-balanced puppies.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
