Meet the breeder
I'm Lauri W., the breeder behind Pleasant Prairie Farms located in Spokane, WA. We are on our 4th generation of Westies and all have such wonderful personalities, such sweet temperaments and great dispositions. They are curious, attentive, intelligent, communicative, interactive and we call them little humans in fur. They are great with our grandchildren and the other animals on our farm. Along with the daily joy they bring, it's these traits that make them so special. They are actual members of the family.
Q. & A. with Lauri
Why did you start breeding?
I got into breeding Westies particularly because I understand as well as anyone that Westies are a breed that is difficult to find, particularly in the upper PNW and INW and the temperament and disposition of our Westies are something special worth sharing. We'd like others to enjoy the delight we have found in this breed and the joy they bring to our lives.What makes your program special?
In an effort to keep our lines healthier, provide longer lives for our beloved dogs & avoid the genetic bottleneck of many areas, we have adopted our breeding dogs from all over the US. All are DNA tested. We don't have outdoor kennels so puppies are socialized to us, grandkids & other animals from birth. Purchasers are informed at least weekly with updates on development & photos until delivery. I am an absolutely horrible puparazzi.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.

Price
Puppy prices include a $500 non-refundable deposit and $2,500 final payment, before taxes & fees.
“All of our puppies are sold with pre-paid limited AKC registrations to be completed by purchasers at their convenience, are provided vet check, first shots, dewormer and socialization. After the new puppy owner pays a reservation fee, they will be updated every week on their puppy's progress until the puppy's pickup date. Keeping people updated is one of the most fun things of this process. Until pickup, of course! $500 hold fee means we hold your puppy until time of delivery. Balance due at time of delivery which would be no sooner than when puppy is 8 weeks old and no later than 10 weeks old. Once a hold fee is paid, puppies are removed from marketing so hold fees become non-refundable.”

Parent dogs
Riley, mom
West Highland White Terrier
About Riley
Riley is our sweet Mama Bear. She is a talker but has learned how to "woofsper" because she talks loudly. Thankfully she is not a barker. She loves her tennis balls more than anything else and has a plethora of them. If they get lost under furniture, she tells us where and asks us to go fishing. She is a great communicator, even when she is hungry or wants a treat. She will tell us or bonk us with her nose. She is very tuned in to the family as a whole and a very happy girl. We love watching Riley laying on her back, playing with a ball in the air with her paws. Her favorite thing other than tennis balls is belly rubs. She is an absolute joy. Riley has been DNA tested. Results available upon request.

West Highland White Terrier
About Cooper
Cooper is the most loyal, dependable and devoted member of our dog squad. He loves to stand on his hind legs and maneuver around the room, or just greet you that way at the door, dancing around you. He's our guardian, watching over us at all times, but always with love and kindness. He has been Embark tested for 255+ genetic health markers and is clear for all of them. Report available upon request.

West Highland White Terrier
About Marley
Marley is the team communications manager. She ahh-roo-roo's to the happiness around her, 'grrrr's' to things that shouldn't be, and alerts us when another member of the pack wants something she doesn't think we might understand. She is extremely loving, full of kisses, unendingly smart, and minds better than any other dog in our pack. She is definitely our Marvelous Marley.

Absolutely Wonderful Experience – Highly Recommend Lauri! I had an amazing experience working with Lauri and can’t speak highly enough about her. From the very beginning, she was incredibly sweet, responsive, and knowledgeable. She kept me updated with regular photos and videos of the puppies, which made the wait so much more exciting and reassuring. Lauri answered all of my questions (and I had a lot!) with patience and care. It was clear from every interaction that she truly loves what she does and genuinely cares for her puppies and the Westie breed. When I picked up my puppy, I got to meet Lauri in person, and she was just as kind and warm as she had been throughout our communication. My puppy came to me almost completely potty trained, happy, healthy, and well-socialized—clearly a result of the loving, attentive environment she provides. Even after bringing my puppy home, Lauri has continued to be responsive and helpful with any questions I’ve had. I truly feel like I’ve made a new friend through this experience.

+8Having owned 5 Westies and with #5 about to turn 17 we decided it was time to search for #6. Finding a reputable breeder is quite a challenge but someone told us to check out the Good Dog site and that advice led us thankfully to Pleasant Prairie Farms Westies and its owner/breeder Lauri. Lauri’s reputation with Good Dog and AKC is impeccable and we couldn’t be more pleased with our experience. Our timing was right as a 3 pup litter was just born and we reserved the only male “Murphy”. Throughout the 8 week waiting period Lauri sent us pictures and informational updates of his interaction with siblings, parents and learning in general. Murphy is now a part of our family and an absolute joy. He’s smart, knows his name, comfortable with our 17 yr old Westie and 9 yr old Wheaton terrier, very friendly with children and adults plus easy to train. His temperament and mannerisms are a further testament to the hands-on loving care of Lauri. If you’re looking for a great breeder and wonderful experience Pleasant Prairie Farms Westies is the place to go ! Thanks for everything Lauri. Lucy, Mike and Murphy
