About Beth Adams
Expertise
I have 10+ yrs rescuing Cairn terriers. Ask me about rescue work and re-homing rescued terriers. I am also proudly owned by a Jack Russell Terrier rescue. I am also keenly aware that terriers are significantly different from other kinds of dogs, and often not the best choice for some owners. HOWEVER I AM NOT A VET! PLEASE DO NOT ASK ME IN-DEPTH MEDICAL QUESTIONS THAT SHOULD BE DIRECTED ONLY TOWARDS MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS. I WILL BE HAPPY TO ASSIST WITH BASIC MEDICAL QUESTIONS/NEEDS THAT I CAN OFFER MY PERSONAL OPINION ON. If you ask me questions about breeding, please expect me to be direct about my opinion on this topic.

Experience
10+ yrs owning and rescuing cairn terriers. Proudly owned by a Jack Russell Terrier rescue. My JRT is active in being a foster brother, and earthdog and agility events and we're having a blast

Terriers - Westie Fur


Expert: Beth Adams - 3/28/2009

Question
Hi,

My 8 month old Westie has dark patches of fur, does anyone know the reason for this as he come from a good pedigree?


Answer
Elaine -

My best guess is that he came from one of the bloodlines that has retained some of the historic bloodline which was not always pure white.

You may want to ask the breeder. I simply can;t make a better guess without seeing it.

Sorry.

-Beth
