I'm the breeder behind Kilmartin Westies located in Mc Donough, GA. We built our program with care and thoughtful consideration in every step. We care deeply about the health and wellbeing of this breed. We take responsible breeding very seriously. We are committed to only producing a litter when our breeding dogs meet or exceed the careful guidelines for quality we have deemed essential to improving this incredible breed. Our dogs are CHIC qualified by the Orthopaedic Foundation of Animals (ofa.org).

Hip Dysplasia (Preliminary)
Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.
Eye Certification (CAER, registered with OFA)
Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.
Patellar Luxation
Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.
Craniomandibular Osteopathy (CMO)
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
