New Pup !

So introducing the newest member of our family "Jackson Bolt'' we have been waiting for him since the day he was born ! Well actually 2 weeks before we put a deposit on the litter before they were born these pups go so fast ! Jackson was born on a 12.5 Acre mini ranch about 2 hours away from us so at 5 weeks old we were able to go pick out our dog and get to know him and the breeder then at 8 weeks which was yesterday we got to bring him home. We became fast friends with the breeders they are the most friendly down to earth people who love their dogs ! if anybody is interested in a West Highland White Terrier just let me know and i can give you all the info their pups are delivered everywhere in U.S. ! and yes the kind from the dog food . 
(like this)





This is our Jackson and his middle name is Bolt and the boys love him so much already and we are already spoiling him with new clothes, toys !
