Description
The Westie Foundation of America, Inc., (WFA) is a non-profit corporation, recognized by the IRS as a 501(C)(3) organization. The mission of the Foundation is to provide financial aid and other support for medical research to benefit the health and quality of life of West Highland White Terriers; and to develop and communicate information regarding the health, care, breeding, and quality of life of Westies to Westie owners, Westie breeders, and veterinarians.
We plan to provide information on how breeders can obtain simple and inexpensive genetic tests for determining carriers of genetic disorders so they can make better informed decisions. We plan to develop educational materials to help breeders learn to utilize the new diagnostic tools and treatments to breed better dogs and improve the quality of life of their Westies.
The Foundation will not tell breeders which dogs to breed or not to breed. The Foundation will not tell breeders which test(s) to perform or whether or not to register the results. Those decisions are the right of each breeder and stud dog owner.
