Westie Fever

I was shopping at my local yarn shop (www.theknittingnest.com) a few weeks ago and met the cutest dog.  His name is Hank.  He is a Westie.
Needless to say, I fell in love.  I decided that I had to have one.  So I sat down at my puter and googled Westies. 
I decided to contact Westie Rescue to see if there were any Westies in my area needing a good home.  I was told that Westies do not do well with children under the age of 8. 
Fooey!  My Lady Bug is 5 but is very mature for her age.  I know she would do well with any dog, if she was even interested in interacting with one.  She's really not much of a pet person.  My Bumble Bee on the other hand, is very much a pet person.  She's only 3 and likes to play rough with our cat.  She often gets bit by the cat while playing rough.  They both give as good as they take.  So, I decided to wait until my Bumble Bee is a little older before we got a dog. 
But I keep seeing Westie's everywhere.  And I REALLY want one.  So, if you have a Westie and a child under the age of 8, please let me hear from you. 
I'd like to know how your dog gets along with your child.  How does our child get along with your dog?  I REALLY WANT A WESTIE!!!
