Greetings from the Westies

Desert Hills, Arizona is now home to the Balinbrae Westies; bred, fed, loved, and shown by me, Nora Balin. This site is devoted to my West Highland White Terriers, both pets and champion show dogs.

Explore and you'll see pictures of our champions and our extended Westie family. You'll also discover some of the services Balinbrae offers, including boarding and grooming, and care and feeding of your new Westie puppy. In our store you can purchase Westie grooming kits, Nose Print Pendants, tote bags, coffee mugs, hats, books, and other Westie items.

Nora and Blair

Balinbrae Westies are healthy, sound, outgoing Westies with excellent temperaments. (Pic is of Nora and Blair as a puppy).

About Nora Balin-Stone

My love for the West Highland White Terrier breed began in 1969 when I received my first Westie named “Trouble”. I've always liked terriers, I had Scotties and Cairn's, but when I got my first Westie, it was all over–I fell in love with the breed.

My first show puppy, Maggie was sold to me by Barb Krotts of Bar-Dan Westies in Bellbrook, Ohio. Barb became my mentor and helped me achieve my life long dream of showing dogs. To date, I have finished twenty-eight champions. Hopefully, there will be many more to come. My greatest joy is a new puppy, and the challenge and hope that comes with improving the breed.

Sherwin Bashes Westies

Skye, Maya, & Dustin Bash. They are all Balinbrae Westies, lovingly cared for and adored by the Sherwin Bash family of Scottsdale, Arizona. Maya recently celebrated her 12th birthday and was honored at a "birthday bash" by the Bash's. It was well attended by many of her Westie friends and relatives, and her human family too!
