About Cedar Creek Kennels
Purposeful breeding.
Lifetime commitment.
We are proud breeders of Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, West Highland White Terriers and Russian Blue cats. We have been breeding dogs since 2007. We are located in Amaranth, Ontario, about an hour and a half northwest of Toronto.We are members of the Canadian Kennel Club and the International Cat Association. We hope you enjoy visiting our website. Pets really do become members of the family. Did you know owning a cat or dog can improve your physical and mental health? Studies have revealed a decrease in anxiety from cuddling a cat, and a boost in energy from taking the dog for a walk. Here at Cedar Creek Kennels, we raise our puppies and kittens in our home so they're ready to live in yours. Our dogs and cats are raised on a good-quality diet. When they go to their new homes, they will have been dewormed, vet checked, vaccinated, microchipped, registered with the appropriate animal association, sent home with 30 days of pet insurance, come with a health guarantee and lifetime breeder support. Whether you're looking for a companion to overcome loneliness or adding a new member to a large family, we have just the pet for you. If you're ready for a furry friend, we'd love to help you find a puppy or kitten you'll fall in love with. Even if you're not quite sure, our team knows all the right questions to ask to match you with the perfect companion.




Breeder Philosophy
How we breed — and why.
Why this breed
We chose to breed West Highland Terriers because they possess so many of the qualities families are looking for in a companion dog. Their compact size makes them easy to live with, while their sturdy build allows them to keep up with active families. Westies are known for their happy, outgoing personalities, intelligence, and confidence. They are affectionate with their families, wonderful with children, and generally get along well with other pets when properly socialized. Another feature many families appreciate is their low-shedding, hypoallergenic coat, making them a great option for those looking for a cleaner home environment. Above all, Westies are full of character, they are playful, loyal, entertaining, and always manage to bring a smile to your face. Their unique combination of personality, companionship, and charm is what made us fall in love with the breed.
What sets us apart
At Cedar Creek Kennels, we believe every puppy deserves the very best start in life. Our puppies are lovingly raised in our home as part of our family, where they receive daily socialization, care, and attention from the day they are born. Before going to their new homes, each puppy is dewormed, vet checked, receives their first set of vaccinations, is microchipped, and is registered with the Canadian Kennel Club (CKC). We also include 30 days of pet insurance, a health guarantee, and lifetime breeder support. We are committed to being a resource for our puppy families for the entire life of their dog.
Homes we look for
West Highland Terriers thrive in a wide variety of homes and are wonderful companions for singles, couples, families with children, and active retirees. Their friendly and confident nature makes them great with kids, and they often enjoy being involved in family activities. Westies are adaptable enough to live in both apartments and larger homes, provided they receive regular exercise and mental stimulation. These intelligent little dogs love being part of the family and do best in homes where they can spend plenty of time with their people. They generally get along well with other dogs when properly socialized and are known for their loyal, affectionate personalities. Whether you're looking for a playful family pet, a walking companion, or a devoted best friend, a Westie can be a wonderful addition to your home.
