Meet the breeder

I'm Lisa R., the breeder behind Winchester West Highlands located in Central Ohio. We love our Westies! It's great to watch a healthy, happy puppy meet its family, knowing what a wonderful adventure is in store! There's nothing more important than a healthy dog, our dogs have been genetic and health tested through OFA. They are our family pets and enjoy AKC Performance Sports. You can see Scout, Finnegan and Kimber grow up on their FB Page "The Real Scout Report and Finn Files". They are the best of friends! You can see our last litter on their FB page & see how our puppies are raised.

Q. & A. with Lisa

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We participate in AKC performance sports and love the breed. Scout, Finn & Kimber are health tested to make sure they will make a good breeding pairs and we work with a top repro vet to make sure we haven't missed any steps. We have the support of both of the breeders of Scout, Kimber and Finn and are dedicated to providing healthy Westies to great families.

  • What makes your program special?

    We start with a foundation of fully health-tested dogs. We use Puppy Culture for early socialization and development of the puppies and send puppies home at 10 weeks with their vaccination record & health certificate. They will be microchipped with me as the backup contact. My puppies will NEVER be in a shelter, I stand behind my dogs and will take back a puppy/dog at any age. I continue to be a resource for my families after pick up. As of March 2022 have become part of the AKC Bred with H.E.A.R.T Program (Health, Educatiion, Accountability, Responsibility & Tradition), I am also a member of the National Breed Club.

  • 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.

    Lisa is amazing! She cares deeply for her puppies and shares them on Facebook daily so you can watch them grow. She is a library of knowledge and we loved the training and exposures she did with the puppies which makes them well rounded and loving. The process was clear and easy to complete. We love our Thistle and will stay connected with Lisa long after she gets home.

    Lisa is an exceptional breeder. Her knowledge and support follows the puppy long after you pick him up. The experiences and love she provides the pups is outstanding. She does a great job vetting potential parents to make sure all pups go to compatible homes where they will flourish. I highly recommend Winchester West Highlands.

    We were looking for a good breeder, but what we found with Lisa was an excellent breeder! . I could not imagine anyone better to raise these puppies. She put in hours upon hours with the care of the puppies, preparing them for their new homes. Mako is well adjusted in his new home. He is brave and smart. His health is excellent. Lisa was and still is very responsive to questions and kept everyone updated. She not only prepared the puppies for their new homes, she also prepares the new family. She provided many informational resources to help with the transitions to the new homes. I very much appreciate her. THANKS!!!

    The whole experience working with Lisa was amazing. She loves these dogs as family, keeps you updated all along the way and after. I still get updates, reminders, shared experiences from other people that also have her puppies. Lisa is a very responsible breeder and tests to be sure she is producing the healthiest, happy, well adapted puppies possible. I can't believe the love, time and care given to each pup along with their parents. I would highly recommend Lisa as a breeder. I love my Kenzie, she's smart, healthy and doing well in puppy class.

    From start to finish, it’s been an absolute pleasure working with Lisa and Steve. Lisa has been so responsive and helpful; she’s still answering my questions! Lisa puts so much time, energy, and knowledge into these pups. She knows just what they need to be enriched and challenged. Our puppy, Millie, is the sweetest, happiest, and smartest little girl. Even at our first vet visit, after only a few questions our doctor compliment Lisa saying she’s an excellent breeder. I couldn’t agree more. Her love for her dogs and all of the puppies is unmatched. I’m forever grateful for her hard work and dedication. I would recommend her to anyone who wants a Westie.
