Choosing between buying or adopting a Westie is a classic tug-of-war between your heart and your wallet. Buying a West Highland White Terrier puppy from a breeder typically costs anywhere from $2,000 to $4,000 AUD, depending on pedigree and breeder reputation. Adoption, on the other paw, often involves a much smaller fee, usually under $500 AUD, and saves a dog from the shelter or rescue. However, breeders offer the lure of a known lineage and early socialisation, while adoption gives you the warm glow of rescuing a canine underdog.
Whichever path you choose, check out Tradingpost and PuppyList for available pups and rescues. Remember, adoption might come with unknown quirks, and buying might come with a hefty price tag. Either way, prepare for a lifetime of white fluff and cheeky grins.
