Is it true Westies dig in gardens and will destroy and make holes everywhere?
Yvonne says: No, it is not true. Westies who do learn to dig are very hard to stop, because digging feels good to them. However, some Westies never learn to dig. One year, I was digging in my flowerbed, when I noticed one of my dogs right beside me, trying to dig the next hole in the line of holes I was making and filling with bulbs. Now, I put my dogs indoors when I have to dig in the garden. The only dog I have had since then who liked to dig had learned it when she was a pup. There are ways to stop a digging dog. Gary Wilkes, a professional dog trainer, has a video called The Doggie Repair Kit that shows how to stop almost any digger.
