The Westie Parent Podcast is our long-form conversation series about life with this breed - the honest version, with the stories that don't fit in a ten-minute video. I host, Sami supervises from his armchair, and sometimes we have guests (canine and human). All episodes are collected here.

Episode 1: What It's Like Having A Westie

The one where it all started - my first podcast ever, nerves included. Bobby joins me and we talk about what living with a Westie is actually like, from the velcro puppy months to the two-personalities phenomenon: the independent street dog and the couch cuddler are somehow the same animal.

Episode 2: Why We Chose a Westie

The origin story. How two people from Romania living in Portugal ended up with a West Highland White Terrier, what we thought we were signing up for, and what we actually got. Sami attends with his chin on the armrest, adorable as usual.

Episode 3: Raw Diets, Westie Allergies and Life with Blue the Westie

Our first guests: Blue the Westie and his mom Puja, who many of you know from Instagram. A long, honest conversation about feeding - raw diets, allergy management, what's worked for Blue and what's worked for Sami - between two households running very different menus for the same breed.

Episode 7: The Most Surprising Thing About Having A Westie

A conversation with Magdalena Dabrowska from Poland - responsible Westie breeder, dog behaviorist, trainer, and parent to five Westies (four-year-old Margotka attends). What surprises even the professionals about this breed, from someone who has raised more Westies than almost anyone.
