Westie Club of the South, Inc.

Certified Westie Ambassador Program

We are pleased to announce new and unique program for our Westie Club of the South members. It is called the "Certified Westie Ambassador" Program. By participating in the program you can earn the designation "Certified Westie Ambassador" and become a well educated and knowledgeable Westie human.

To earn the "Certified Westie Ambassador" title, you will need to complete a course that covers many useful and interesting Westie related topics. During this course you will learn about:

• The history of the breed

• The breed standard

• Breed characteristics and temperament

• Health and Wellness

• Grooming

• Training

• Behavior challenges

All members of the Westie Club of the South are eligible to participate. We will develop a method for out of state members to participate as well.

When you sign up for the course you will receive a list of topics and related study materials. We will include a list of books and videos that will supplement your studies. Classes on these issues will be given over the course of the year and we will make them a part of some of our regular meetings whenever practical.

You are encouraged to proceed at your pace and there is no deadline for completing the classes. Once you have completed the course you will take a multiple choice test given on a pass/fail basis. When you pass the test, you will become a "Certified Westie Ambassador"!

Your designation can be used on your embroidered Westie logo items, and we will add your title to your name tags and include it in the directory.

More information about the "Certified Westie Ambassador" program will be available in the near future.
