Your Westie puppy can go home at 8 weeks old. You must pick out your puppy as close to the 8 week pick-up date as possible. You will choose in order of when your deposit was placed in line for that litter.

Please be sure to email (contracts@arrowheadacreswesties.com) to set an appointment time to pick up your puppy. If you come the Saturday after your puppy turns 8 weeks old and you have 1st choice and have anyone in line behind you, your appointment needs to be, at the latest, mid-morning.

Your puppy must be 8 weeks old to ship, use our flight nanny service or be delivered. If you are shipping, using our flight nanny service or we are delivering your puppy you will have to pick out your puppy via video. 

You have until your Westie puppy reaches 9 weeks old to pick up your puppy or have your puppy shipped, delivered or flight nannied. If for some reason you are unable to, we will be glad to hold your puppy for a small daily boarding fee of $10.00. This is payable in cash when you pick up your new puppy or if transporting by PayPal or Credit Card before it is transported. During this time your puppy will continue to receive all age appropriate vaccines according to our protocol.

If you purchase a puppy that is over 8 weeks old you have 10 days to either pick up your new puppy or have them transported to you. Again, if you are unable to pick up or have your new puppy transported within the 10 days, the same boarding fee applies.

Healthy 7 to 8 Year Old Retiring from the Breeding Program:

Our routine protocol for retiring all of our sires and dams is between the ages of six and seven years. Once you have decided on a particular Adult Adoptee we require a $250.00 non-refundable commitment fee. You will then fill out our: COMMITMENT CONTRACT TO ADOPT AN ADULT OR SPECIAL NEEDS ADOPTEE. Just before leaving ARRROWHEAD ACRES WESTIES your Adult Adoptee is taken to our vet. A pre-op physical and blood work are done and they are spayed or neutered. The teeth are also cleaned at this time. They are given a heart worm test to take to your vet so that you can purchase heart worm prevention without taking your adult adoptee in for another test. Occasionally they are sent home with pain meds or antibiotics. If needed, a Rabies vaccine is also given at this time. Your Adult Adoptee will have a fresh groom and a microchip as well.  These services usually cost between $750.00 and $1250.00. The cost depends on the amount of dental work, the gender and other medical procedures performed. You, as the adoptive parent, pay this fee directly to us.

Healthy Young Adult:

Occasionally, for various reasons, we will have a young healthy, well socialized adult (2-6 years old) to retire. The reasons for a younger Adult Adoptee retiring will vary.

Then you will fill out our: COMMITMENT CONTRACT TO ADOPT AN ADULT OR SPECIAL NEEDS ADOPTEE. It will also have the same medical procedures done as the other Adult Adoptees.
