Meet the breeder

I'm Deana R., the breeder behind Dixieland Westies located in Loxley, AL. Wouldnt you agree to have Quality it starts with a phenominal pedigree, all parents genetically tested for inherited diseases and to have them on the best diet possible? We give our puppies the best start possible as well as litter box trained socialized & puppy puzzle brain stimulation.

Q. & A. with Deana

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I started breeding in 2006 not knowing much about Westies. As I became more informed and learned more about DNA and genetically inherited diseases I vowed to only breed Quality. After losing my baby Bella who I never bred because she had Addisons disease I swore to myself I would only choose the best Quality westies to breed so no one would be left with a heavy heart losing their furbaby too early

  • What makes your program special?

    I am not a backyard breeder. I ONLY BREED FOR THE BETTERMENT OF THE BREED TO BE ABLE TO PRODUCE THE BEST OF THE BEST! I breed quality Champion furbabies. I can assure you that I socialize my babies, best diet as well as insuring that they can have a long life by testing parents for genetically inherited diseases. I don't believe in just breeding westies. I believe in breeding QUALITY!

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    My experience with working with Deann from Dixieland Westies couldn't have been better. Having had a Westie before I was very aware of some of the issues they can have. Deana goes the extra step. She has all of her puppy's DNA tested and ensures they have a CH pedigree. She also does puzzle stimulation with them and litter box trains them while they are with their mother and siblings. Deana also knows the importance of quality nutrition and has her pups all on some of the best raw food in-which we all know that Kibble is not great for any dog. Throughout the process, Deana was communicative and provided me with more education about Westie's than I knew. Deana met me half-way to get her and had all of the documents I needed for pedigree, the vet as well as the necessary paperwork for me to fly home with my beautiful baby Westie Tula. Since being home with Tula (our baby Westie) Deana has still been such a resource and caring breeder checking in on Tula and I. Tula is such a great puppy and so cute! If you are looking for a West Highland Terrier I promise you that you will not be disappointed with Deana's Dixieland Westies. They are the crim de la crim! I also have a Westie friend for life! Thank you so much Deana!

    Everything went very well with Dixieland Westies. From my first contact with Dee until the delivery of my new furry forever friend, she was right there to answer questions and guide us through meeting our new puppy. I explained what personality I wanted in my puppy and she chose the right one. Once I decided his name would be "Paddy", she was right there helping to make his name the most Irish as it can be. When I picked him up at 8 weeks, we was pad trained and would answer to his name. Of course, we received photos weekly of our baby.

    My wife and I recently used Good Dog to find a dog breeder. We were looking for a West Highland white terrier. We were reluctant to use online services to find a dog because of no physical contact. Good Dog paired us with a breeder that was excellent and very knowledgeable with her trade. Deana Raymond was a very good communicator. She text us photos at least twice a week of our puppies progress which made our online experience very physical, the photos showed a loving relationship between the breeder and the litter of puppies. We used a transport service that was provided by Deana to get our puppy from Alabama to Seattle. The nanny Amanda also made photos of the trip and kept us touch all the way, she was very caring. She said that Mac didn't give her any trouble at all during the two flights and was very quiet. Mac arrived in good spirit and in excellent health with shot records up to date and all of his papers in order. Deana called us to make sure Mac arrive safely, and told us that missing the puppy caused her to shad tears on the way home from the airport. Truly a sign of a caring breeder.Working with Good Dog and Deana Raymond made our online purchase very personal and exhilarating five stars for all. Thank you.
