In westie heaven right now singing along to the corrie song for you every day,bless him he seem like a very wise westie who lived his life well with the most caring owners he never thought he ever had.I've lost one before,now i've a second named hamish who is 7,just can't seem to live without them.^^
We are living in a place now, that won't allow pets, but my wife is 8 months pregnant and to be honest need to move anyway, so one of the first things we will be doing is trying to find a little fella to live with us, would be a great to have 2 new additions to the family :)
The day before he did it for when my mum came to visit and did what you see at the end here all the way through... but we didn't get that recorded unfortunately :(
@jimmyshitbags There was other times that we didn't catch him on video, where he would howl the entire way through and get really into it, even standing on his back legs at the end... little showman he was :)
dogs are better friends then people, you don't have to do anything for them and they'll love you no matter what...They never argue, or anything...If someone put a gun to my dog's head and my best friend head and told me to choose i'd tell them the to shoot the person every time.
Although, the never argue bit is maybe not correct for a westy, they are grumpy, and like an old man. If he was on the bed and you asked him to shift so you could get in, he would complain, if you were carrying things from one room to another, he would sit in the middle of the corridor and refuse to move just to drive you mad... bags of character and loads of fun :)
@1Nayla1 Ohh im sorry to hear about how he passed away, and can understand why you would be angry at your mum.
But sounds like he had a great life up to then, chasing chickens and cats, means he was having fun and out in the open... unlike many that live longer and are locked in a house all day, which is not right for any dog.
Oh what an adorable Westie. I'm sorry for your loss. Having 3 in the immediate family (and several more over the past 30 years) I know what little characters they are! PS. The tilt heading is classic Westie behaviour ;-)
My west queenie does that sometimes but my other westie just looks at her as if she making a show of herself!! :D it's soo cute they act like a little married couple and go EVERYWHERE together!!! They are both 2 and I -3 them 2 pieces
Oh my gosh!! This looks like my Annabelle. I lost her two weeks ago. She was 11 years old and my best friend. I can't hardly stand coming home anymore since she's not there to meet me at the door with a toy in her mouth! I miss her so. Maybe some day I can get another one but not right now. Otherwise, I'll watch these videos and say "ahh" to each one!! Thanks for posting.
Scamps looks just like our dog, Boomer. We just put Boomer to sleep. He was 16yrs. old. My wife is taking it better than I am. I thought it would be the other way around. Every time I walk in the house, I break down in tears. I know he is at the Rainbow Bridge.
@Muzic4me5150 - Im self employed and work from home, where as my wife goes to work, he would sleep under my desk and go with me to visit clients. I look after an old peoples home marketing etc, and he would walk in and go straight through to the lounge where all the old ladies would be and sit in the middle with the "STROKE ME IM CUTE!" attitude lol.
Even after all this time, i still find it difficult being on my own at home, and what to do at 2pm when it was his walk time.
We had to put our westie to sleep on 9-9-10. He was 16yrs old. Boomer was his name and Scamps looks and acts just like him. We stayed with him to send him to the Rainbow Bridge. My heart is broken. My wife is taking it better than I thought she would. I'm going to miss my little buddy :(
I had a Westie pass from kidney failure about 5 years ago and although it was hard, it was definitely a life well lived. She lived to be 17 years old and was the queen of the house. I will always have a Westie in the family and whenever someone asks me what kind of dog to get... I always, without hesitation, say a Westie.
Aww, what a cutie! I'm so sorry about your sudden loss. my westie is sick as well, and I don't know what I would do if I lost her! She was diagnosed with Addison's disease about 2 years ago, and she's spent the last two days in the hospital. She's also an older gal. I'm afraid it might be time for her to move on...
Your westie video definitely made me smile! He's a silly dog, just like they all are. Too bad I never taught mine to sing... she's too grumpy--queen of the world in her eyes!
Awww...I'm so sorry for your loss. It truly is devestating to lose a Westie. My wee boy died three months ago and we are still reeling from it. Oddly enough, he loved watching Corrie and would get excited when the old intro with the cat would come on. On the other hand he hated blonde women so Liz McDonald and Leanne Battersby and Shelly were his enemies. He would bark like a madman when they came on screen.
I've just watched Scamp singing to Coronation Street and thought he was so funny, and then read that he had died I feel so sorry for you. Did you ever get another dog, I hope you did, I know one dog can not replace another but you will grow to love the new dog just as much. All the best Cath
Watched this video and fell in love with your Scamps. I have 3 Westies of my own. None of them sing but are awesome dogs with beautiful unique personalities and love them all to bits. I'd be a total mess if I lost any of them.
Sorry for the loss of your beloved Westie Scamps. He must have been a great companion. Just remember, he is waiting for you at the Rainbow Bridge.
Our Westie howls whenever a beeper goes off like the oven timer or a smoke alarm. When I get home from work and back into the driveway, the backup alarm on my truck lets him know I'm home and he howls like crazy.
There are adorable ones as well. I'd seen this video before and it made me smile to see again. The vide of this one singing though is still the best of all to me. Did you ever see the one where there are three or four siblings chasing one of those big "Pilates" type balls around a yard? It is really hysterical.
That's amazing, what a cute westie! I always wondered though with these random things they howled or barked at, did it just come one day, cos u watched or played it alot or? I'm kinda aiming for my westie to do certain cute things like a friends used to do, merely because im materialistic as fuck, and want my westie to be perfect in my own way, so was there anything you did or was it just random from scampy? Regards.
@Luubi1 - Just random stuff... its the things they do that's unique to the individual that matters, not because you have trained them. For example later in his life, when he was very ill and he was due a walk, he would lie on top of the stairs and not come down, so would put his paw up as if he was waving at you and then roll on his back as if he was cute he would get away with it. We tried to video that, but never managed :(
I so sorry to hear of your loss. I had a Scottie named Mollie. She and I would howl at the moon. I truly believe we are reunited with our pets. If you ever get a chance to see the movie "What Dreams May Come" they have a lovely scene about being reunited with a beloved dog. Best wishes to you.
my beautiful westy named scotty was put down today, he was 13 years, its been 6 hours and i still cant believe that this has happened. cherish ur pets for every second you can. this dog is cool by the way.
Ok I watched. The music is loud and high and every dog will howl.Sorry it hurts a dogs ears.Ask a vet and he will tell you. I'm not trying to be mean but it's a fact. Dogs have very sensitive ears!!!!
Our family dog has sang to cornation street for about 10 years just the same as your wee Scamp had. She a collie cross with greyhound and turns 14 in May.But the sad news is that shes was diagnosed with 3 diffrent heart condition last friday and has been given 6 months to live. However I'm determined to get a video of her singing on youtube, though shes not as good as she used to be, grumpy has came with old age and her vocal cords have gone with all the smoken =)
My Westie died on May 12th 2004 at 17 years, 7 months, and 2 days old. I'm sorry to hear about your recent loss. It often seems like he sends other Westies to cross my path when I'm especially feeling down and defeated in life, times when it is illogical for a Westie to be around. Pouring rain at night near an alley having trouble and a Westie will come out of nowhere in the alley on a walk,... things like that.
Scamps was in amazing health, He past away in April 08, and this was filmed on Xmas day 07 just a few months before. He had 3 massive walks per day and mountain climbed with me in the October 07. He was eating anything he could get his teeth on, but we never cut costs on him. He would buy different brands each week as he would refuse to eat the same brand if we served it a few days in a row. Sometimes we bought cheep tins of tuna and made his food.. He loved this :)
this is random but what do u feed your westie?...i see your westie is older so he must be in good health....im gettin one soon and i want to feed it a good brand food since westies are so sensitive to alot of things
I have a soon to be 12 year old Westie and it does seem that they are musically inclined dogs. Whenever there is music on he moves to the source and likes to chill with whoever else is listening. He has never howled to music although he does still surprise us with a new howl or lament every now and then.
Yes I think so too. My mom used to teach piano lessons and my Westie would want to go in there when he'd hear the music start because he wanted to sit near the piano to listen. He'd run from the back of the yard if he was outside and in through the screen flap(caused by running through the screen to chase a chipmunk) when he'd hear the music start.
Scamp was 10 when he moved in with us (or we moved in with him :)), We knew that pedigrees have an average of about 14yrs, so when he was 13 and still OK,we thought things were looking good. Then just after this video was taken he went down very quick, so the 14yr average age came true.
It depends on exercise, and other factors, but scamps was VERY active with 3 long walks a day and always out and about, so even that didnt help.But a friend of ours has an 18yr old westy and still doing well.
That's pretty good, I wonder why they do this. Whenever I practice trumpet my westie usually starts to accompany me. His favorite seems to be the opening solo from the Mussorgsky, pictures at an exhibition....
how did you do this? My westy usulally is calm, or if she hears something really interesteing for her she barks but very quit. i want her to sing also :))))
RIP Scamps , hey um , im thinking of getting a dog , I just dont know what breed to look for : A Westie or a Labrador?
I've already brought a westie over ( Dad's Friend's Dog ) and he was really nice and playful but hes kinda shy but its ok. And for a Labrador , i hear they're a good breed and i'd like either but i dont know which to chose. Help?
Hi, We have taken in many rescue dogs, German Shepperd's, dobermans, little yappy things, and of course scampa. I WILL be getting another westy, they are intelligent, funny, arsy, miserable and almost everything else all rolled into one. All have their problems, Labradors and other Alsatian family have trouble with their back legs and westies have problems with skin, Scampa didn't but many do. I couldn't recommend a westy enough, they are amazing, and also small enough to sleep on your bed :o)
Katy, he was well looked after before we got him, and you did a great job before we took him on. If it wasn't for you giving him so much love, he would never have had such a great personality, he turned out just great - the argumentative old man he was, i wonder where he got that from ;o)
Like the head swinging from side to side. He really 'gets' that music :)
Just got my westie puppy a few weeks ago. This breed has personality. Feels like having a baby of my own! Lost a golden retriever before though... they become so much like little people that it's equally tough losing them as it is losing a human loved one. And unlike real children they don't grow up to resent you, or stay out past curfew, or put you in a rest home...
If scampa could have put us in an old peoples home, so he had the contents of the fridge and the whole bed all to himself, we would have been living with grampa Simpson in Springfield retirement home!!! :o).
But your right, they are exactly like another family member with an equal share of your life as any other family member, some times maybe a little more.
Your right, they are just like having a child, only problem is they dont grow up and get a job. He just expected a little bone from the supermarket every time we got back, which he usually got :)
Thats one thing i regret not videoing, Scamps's reactions to other westies on you tube. If we watched it for too long, he would go in a real huff, and not talk to us for hours :)
That is the cutest thing. My girl, Bonnie, sings to fire and police sirens. Scamp at least sang to music. What a great video to remember him by. I know you miss him.
I had to leave a comment when I saw your video. As a child I had a Westie , Chippy who lived to be 16 years old - he was quite a character.
Now I have 2 Border Collies, Milo and Quince and a Collie Spaniel Cross, Jolie. All 3 "sing" to the Coronation Street music. They can be asleep in a different room when the music starts and they always end up in front of the tv singing. I love to see them do it....they seem to take it very seriously indeed !
What a beautiful Westie! We lost our 16 yo Westie to the same disease. It floored me when he was diagnosed but he was a fighter and lived for another 10 years! The vets were amazed that he lived with a 55% oxygen level. I guess his body adapted to the low levels. There was nothing we could do for him except keep him healthy (vitamins like ester C). We now have another Westie and he is a blessing!! Westies are the best and we have always had one. There is something special about Westies.
I wanted to add that I saw your video of Scamp's crackles and that is exactly what our little guy had. He was actually a "teaching" Westie at our local vet school to teach the sound of crackles. He liked all the attention and when he died, he had a brick with his name on their entrance. We all held him the night before he died and we cried our hearts out. But as Daphne Sheldrick said, 'loss is the price you pay for loving so much'. I'd do it all again. Bless.
Yes it is a terrible disease, in fact absolutely heart destroying. But its great that you managed to find a positive use for it, as Scamps had massive problems because of being misdiagnosed for so long. So hopefully your little westie may have helped many hundreds or thousands of other westies by allowing a quick diagnosis from all the vets who were in those teaching classes.
What a great idea, i wish i had thought of that :)
Your little Scamps is such a hoot! I love how he moves his head back and forth with the music and even varies his howls according to the music. Funny dog! lol Now I definitely have got to get a Westie.
We have had many dogs, mainly from rescue centres and without doubt westies are the best by far. They are independent, arsy, have so much character, dogs, you cant help but love them. Make sure you get health insurance for them, but mostly don't expect them to be obedient, as they will only do something if they want to do it.
If you ask it to go from A - B, it will go there in its own time, when it wants to and via C just to get on your nerves :)
I'm a little jealous... there seams to be 2 types of westies, one is the very curly fluffy type, the other is the straight haired straggly ones. You can guess looking at scamps which one we prefer :)
I also have a westie at home and i dont want him to suffer the same fate. Honestly this video made me a little teary after reading the info area. I hope you guys will be able to get another scamp soon.
I truly feel for your loss, scamp looked like a wonderful member of your family. We have had a westie for 9 months now and we love him dearly, I dread the day when the worst comes for us too. I sobbed uncontrolably in the vets surgery when our last dog was put to sleep.
Yes he was a very "vocal" little fella, but not yappy thank god. So if you were talking to him, he would often "talk" back to you with grunts and things. Loved singing and loved life in general. He had a great life and never wanted for anything. At the end when we knew he was terminal, we scrapped his quite strict diet and toned down his exercise, so if we had a pizza delivered, he had a little 8 inch pepperoni one as well, especially ordered for him :).
Oh wow. I just read the description and I seriously started crying.
My family has a westy, too, and he's been struggling with skin problems, some sort of diabetes, and a few other things for a year or so and we don't have much time left with him.
But anyway,
this is an adorable video and that dog is absolutely precious.
Wow what talent I love the way he tilts his head bless him! I am so sorry to hear he has gone to doggy heaven, its a nice place up there with no pain. Chin up and hope you are all ok, the best thing is to do something good and go to the RSPCA and give another dog a great home!!!x
I am so sorry to hear about your beautiful westie's pulmonary fibrosis...unfortunately I don't know anything about it - he is so beautiful and it would break my heart if our own westie were to be so ill... knowing how much we love our Pongo, my heart is aching for you. best wishes to you and the darling Scamp.
You are so right, we have had German shepherds, and many other dogs from rescue centres and westies/westy's are probably the most intelligent and self motivated dogs i have ever seen.
Hi im not sure how you spell it, is it westy or westie, as i thought westie is for plural like westies and westy is for one, but im not really sure myself to be honesty :o)
i didnt mean to seem like I was asking about the spelling,,,didnt notice the title til now,,,it is a westy/westies,,,I have a girl 13,,,,adorable dogs!!!
Hi its OK i didn't take it in the wrong way :) Yerp your right, westies (plural hehe) are incredible, about as independent as you can get for a dog, i keep expecting him to go out and get a job, but it hasn't happened yet :D.
Unfortunately we had some incredibly bad news last week, Ill add it to the description on the right there.
In westie heaven right now singing along to the corrie song for you every day,bless him he seem like a very wise westie who lived his life well with the most caring owners he never thought he ever had.I've lost one before,now i've a second named hamish who is 7,just can't seem to live without them.^^

I still miss him today.
I still get very angry at my mom when i think about our westie.
He'd fart silently near you and then sneak away.
He loved to dominate and tease the cat.
He was also a racist..he'd chase the turkish kids into trees when we went for a walk.
He tried to have sex with chickens

Thats an average of around 14 years.
My only previous Westie was 16 and I've known many 16 year-old Westies.
My neighbours had 2 Westies ( Bill and Ben lol) and they both lived until they were 18 !
My "4" at the moment are 12,8,7 and 7 :)

That's amazing, what a cute westie! I always wondered though with these random things they howled or barked at, did it just come one day, cos u watched or played it alot or? I'm kinda aiming for my westie to do certain cute things like a friends used to do, merely because im materialistic as fuck, and want my westie to be perfect in my own way, so was there anything you did or was it just random from scampy? Regards.
luuuby1 2 years ago
@Luubi1 - Just random stuff... its the things they do that's unique to the individual that matters, not because you have trained them. For example later in his life, when he was very ill and he was due a walk, he would lie on top of the stairs and not come down, so would put his paw up as if he was waving at you and then roll on his back as if he was cute he would get away with it. We tried to video that, but never managed :(

I so sorry to hear of your loss. I had a Scottie named Mollie. She and I would howl at the moon. I truly believe we are reunited with our pets. If you ever get a chance to see the movie "What Dreams May Come" they have a lovely scene about being reunited with a beloved dog. Best wishes to you.

Our family dog has sang to cornation street for about 10 years just the same as your wee Scamp had. She a collie cross with greyhound and turns 14 in May.But the sad news is that shes was diagnosed with 3 diffrent heart condition last friday and has been given 6 months to live. However I'm determined to get a video of her singing on youtube, though shes not as good as she used to be, grumpy has came with old age and her vocal cords have gone with all the smoken =)

My Westie died on May 12th 2004 at 17 years, 7 months, and 2 days old. I'm sorry to hear about your recent loss. It often seems like he sends other Westies to cross my path when I'm especially feeling down and defeated in life, times when it is illogical for a Westie to be around. Pouring rain at night near an alley having trouble and a Westie will come out of nowhere in the alley on a walk,... things like that.

Hi its no probs at all
Scamps was in amazing health, He past away in April 08, and this was filmed on Xmas day 07 just a few months before. He had 3 massive walks per day and mountain climbed with me in the October 07. He was eating anything he could get his teeth on, but we never cut costs on him. He would buy different brands each week as he would refuse to eat the same brand if we served it a few days in a row. Sometimes we bought cheep tins of tuna and made his food.. He loved this :)
da8iwr 2 years ago
this is random but what do u feed your westie?...i see your westie is older so he must be in good health....im gettin one soon and i want to feed it a good brand food since westies are so sensitive to alot of things
igotem16 2 years ago
I have a soon to be 12 year old Westie and it does seem that they are musically inclined dogs. Whenever there is music on he moves to the source and likes to chill with whoever else is listening. He has never howled to music although he does still surprise us with a new howl or lament every now and then.
duglemcgugle 2 years ago
Yes I think so too. My mom used to teach piano lessons and my Westie would want to go in there when he'd hear the music start because he wanted to sit near the piano to listen. He'd run from the back of the yard if he was outside and in through the screen flap(caused by running through the screen to chase a chipmunk) when he'd hear the music start.

whats the highest age a westie can be???
jonrskitlez 2 years ago
Scamp was 10 when he moved in with us (or we moved in with him :)), We knew that pedigrees have an average of about 14yrs, so when he was 13 and still OK,we thought things were looking good. Then just after this video was taken he went down very quick, so the 14yr average age came true.
It depends on exercise, and other factors, but scamps was VERY active with 3 long walks a day and always out and about, so even that didnt help.But a friend of ours has an 18yr old westy and still doing well.

I've already brought a westie over ( Dad's Friend's Dog ) and he was really nice and playful but hes kinda shy but its ok. And for a Labrador , i hear they're a good breed and i'd like either but i dont know which to chose. Help?

Hi, We have taken in many rescue dogs, German Shepperd's, dobermans, little yappy things, and of course scampa. I WILL be getting another westy, they are intelligent, funny, arsy, miserable and almost everything else all rolled into one. All have their problems, Labradors and other Alsatian family have trouble with their back legs and westies have problems with skin, Scampa didn't but many do. I couldn't recommend a westy enough, they are amazing, and also small enough to sleep on your bed :o)

Katy, he was well looked after before we got him, and you did a great job before we took him on. If it wasn't for you giving him so much love, he would never have had such a great personality, he turned out just great - the argumentative old man he was, i wonder where he got that from ;o)
da8iwr 3 years ago
Like the head swinging from side to side. He really 'gets' that music :)
Just got my westie puppy a few weeks ago. This breed has personality. Feels like having a baby of my own! Lost a golden retriever before though... they become so much like little people that it's equally tough losing them as it is losing a human loved one. And unlike real children they don't grow up to resent you, or stay out past curfew, or put you in a rest home...
Hope my puppy grows up to be as 'cool' as yours:)
norcalrobbie2 3 years ago
If scampa could have put us in an old peoples home, so he had the contents of the fridge and the whole bed all to himself, we would have been living with grampa Simpson in Springfield retirement home!!! :o).
But your right, they are exactly like another family member with an equal share of your life as any other family member, some times maybe a little more.

I had to leave a comment when I saw your video. As a child I had a Westie , Chippy who lived to be 16 years old - he was quite a character.
Now I have 2 Border Collies, Milo and Quince and a Collie Spaniel Cross, Jolie. All 3 "sing" to the Coronation Street music. They can be asleep in a different room when the music starts and they always end up in front of the tv singing. I love to see them do it....they seem to take it very seriously indeed !

What a beautiful Westie! We lost our 16 yo Westie to the same disease. It floored me when he was diagnosed but he was a fighter and lived for another 10 years! The vets were amazed that he lived with a 55% oxygen level. I guess his body adapted to the low levels. There was nothing we could do for him except keep him healthy (vitamins like ester C). We now have another Westie and he is a blessing!! Westies are the best and we have always had one. There is something special about Westies.
MYLANNZ 3 years ago
I wanted to add that I saw your video of Scamp's crackles and that is exactly what our little guy had. He was actually a "teaching" Westie at our local vet school to teach the sound of crackles. He liked all the attention and when he died, he had a brick with his name on their entrance. We all held him the night before he died and we cried our hearts out. But as Daphne Sheldrick said, 'loss is the price you pay for loving so much'. I'd do it all again. Bless.
MYLANNZ 3 years ago
Hi MYLANNZ
Thanks for all the comments :)
Yes it is a terrible disease, in fact absolutely heart destroying. But its great that you managed to find a positive use for it, as Scamps had massive problems because of being misdiagnosed for so long. So hopefully your little westie may have helped many hundreds or thousands of other westies by allowing a quick diagnosis from all the vets who were in those teaching classes.
What a great idea, i wish i had thought of that :)
Many thanks
Ian

We have had many dogs, mainly from rescue centres and without doubt westies are the best by far. They are independent, arsy, have so much character, dogs, you cant help but love them. Make sure you get health insurance for them, but mostly don't expect them to be obedient, as they will only do something if they want to do it.
If you ask it to go from A - B, it will go there in its own time, when it wants to and via C just to get on your nerves :)
But we loved that :)
Good luck

Hi thanks all :)
Yes he was a very "vocal" little fella, but not yappy thank god. So if you were talking to him, he would often "talk" back to you with grunts and things. Loved singing and loved life in general. He had a great life and never wanted for anything. At the end when we knew he was terminal, we scrapped his quite strict diet and toned down his exercise, so if we had a pizza delivered, he had a little 8 inch pepperoni one as well, especially ordered for him :).
