Owners of West Highlands whites and Scottish terriers are invited to bring their pooches to an organised meet and greet walk.
The West Highland White & Scottish Terrier Club was formed by the joining of the West Highland White Terrier and Scottish Terrier clubs. It now has a membership of around 300 people, both in New Zealand and internationally.
The club has Black and White Walk coordinators in various regions. Julie Kelly, Manawatū-Whanganui representative, says there have been three organised walks so far.
“We’ve had two in Palmerston North and one in Feilding. These are usually every two months or so and have attracted a following of six or eight owners and often 10 or 12 dogs. It’s great fun catching up with other owners and allowing the dogs to socialise.”
She says there are a few Westies and Scotties to be seen around Whanganui.
