WESTIE WISDOM with Jane Fink Jane Fink has been in Westies since 1988, competing in obedience, conformation, agility, as well as enjoying terrier trials and pet therapy visits. Upon completing an obedience title on her first Westie in 1991, Jane was asked to help instruct obedience classes. In 1992 she opened her own obedience school, Anderson Dog Works in Anderson, South Carolina, where today she is the sole instructor, teaching 14 classes a week from puppy kindergarten to competition and Canine Good Citizen/Pet Therapy classes. Jane has also competed and titled her Shetland Sheepdog and Bernese Mountain Dog in obedience, herding, and draft carting, and has enjoyed living and working with Greyhounds, which introduced her to lure coursing. Her love of cats has assured their constant presence in her life as well. Jane is a long time member in good standing with the West Highland Terrier Club of America, the West Highland White Terrier Club of England, and the West Highland White Terrier Club of Greater Atlanta.
