It is important to watch out for any abnormalities in your rabbits as rabbits are susceptible to various digestive ailments and other life-threatening diseases. For example, rabbits are vulnerable to myxomatosis and VHD viruses. These are killer viruses!

There is no universal system of classification for rabbit breeds. Some popular breeds of rabbits include:

· Alaska · American Fuzzy Lop · American Sable · Angora · Belgian Hare · Beveren · Californian · Champagne D’Argent · Checkered Giant · Chinchilla · Dutch · Dwarf Hotot · English Lop · Flemish Giant · Florida White · Harlequin · Havana · Himalayan · Hotot · Jersey Wooly · Lilac · Holland Lop · Mini Lop · Mini Rex · Netherland Dwarf · New Zealand · Palomino · Polish · Rex · Rhinelander · Satin · Silver · Silver Fox · Silver Marten · Tan

Westie puppies for sale from a reliable breeder will not be timid or shy, small or sickly, or under eight weeks old. They will have their papers, shots, worming, and be well-socialized. The Westie breeder should provide references, a warranty contract against defects, and even advice about care.

West Highland Terrier Breeders who have been conscientious about breeding and care of Westies they offer for sale will not hesitate to let you take puppy to a veterinarian for a preliminary checkup. They have done their jobs well, and have nothing to hide.

There are many reputable kennels, and knowledgeable hobbyist breeders who love their Westies, and will want puppies and dogs they offer for sale to go to a good home. Good breeders will ask you as many questions as you ask them.

If they want to know if you have a fence, if Westie will be left alone during day, or if you have raised other dogs, don't be offended. These are breeders who care enough to give your Westie puppy a good start in life.
