Welcome to my website, established in 1998 as a hobby
site for West Highland White guardians. With the help from visitors the
site continues to provide a free information service, non commercial and
nothing to sell you.
Originally produced and published on free websites
like geocities.com (USA) and later Freeserve (UK) the site moved about a
lot. Then in December 1999 this domain name was registered.
The site is produced in memory of Bobby(1st) who
sadly passed away with an unknown illness, at that time while searching
for answers, I soon realised there was very little information on
Westie's, and so embarked on a mission.
What you see today has taken many years to produce,
and research, polls, feedback forms, thousands of emails have all
contributed to the sites contents. As the Westie's popularity grew, so
did this site, and millions have visited from all corners of the world.
I didn't need to tell anyone it was here, people soon found it...
Previously .co.uk was suppose to represented
companies in the UK, However soon individuals like myself were able
to purchase cheaply top lever domain extensions, and so today .com .net
.co.uk and many others are used by people like myself purely as a hobby.
The site has become very popular, I have had many
people email me to ask if I wish to sell it, I have had companies
contact me to enquire on charges for advertisements, or to ask to
promote their products, for some they find it hard to understand what a
hobby is, and just wish to use the site to make money.. I don't...
If your a company please note that this is a hobby
site, not a commercial venture, it was produced to help visitors, so
please don't waste your time (And mine) in asking. Sure you see donation
buttons and Google ads (which seam like a good idea at the time) but I
don't sell anything on the site, and will not promote your product.
Hobbies can be expensive, if your someone who has
taken up gardening, how much do you spend on fertilizer, seeds, digging
equipment, while it would be much cheaper not to grow anything and buy
from the shop, why do you do it then ?
Servers cost money, as do domain registrations, this
is my hobby and I pay to enjoy it, enough said ?

enough of them and have moved my sites to a USA server. That means some

please let me know

years young ! would you believe that ?. This site has been running since
1998, and I update it regular, be and the boys need a holiday don't your
