Meet the breeder

I'm Deana R., the breeder behind Dixieland Westies located in Loxley, AL. Since 2006, my heart has been dedicated to the Westie breed. I raise each litter with love, careful health testing, and thoughtful planning because every family deserves a healthy companion and every puppy deserves the very best start in life-and lifetime breeder support.

Q. & A. with Deana

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I began breeding Westies in 2006 after falling in love with the breed. As I learned more about genetics, health, and responsible breeding, my purpose grew beyond raising puppies—it became preserving this wonderful breed. After losing my beloved Bella, I vowed to breed with compassion and intention because I never wanted another family to experience the heartbreak I felt losing Bella.

  • What makes your program special?

    My breeding program begins long before puppies are born. Every sire and dam undergoes DNA testing to help identify inherited genetic diseases, allowing informed breeding decisions that help reduce preventable health risks. I carefully match each pair for health, temperament, structure, and pedigree so every puppy has the best foundation for a healthy, confident life.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies are white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • 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.
