Can we keep more than one Westie in the house?
Yvonne says: I sure hope so. I have two, right now, and have had up to ten. I have friends who have six adults at least, at any given time, and they all live in the house (including the people!) The only thing one must be careful of is keeping more than one intact male. A male who has not been neutered is at the mercy of his sexual urges and he cannot help having them when there is a girl dog in heat around. Owners do not always know when there is a girl in heat around, as she may belong to the neighbours, or she may just have walked by the house. If you have two males, they will want to argue about who gets to be in charge of the girl – even long before she is ready to breed. So my advice is that if you want more than one male dog, be sure to neuter both of them. However – that would be my advice, anyhow. All pet dogs should be neutered. It makes them better pets because they don’t think about reproducing, and neutering is a powerful way to reduce your dog’s chances of coming down wit
