The West Highland White Terrier, commonly known as the Westie, is a delightful breed of dog hailing from Scotland. Here are some key facts about this spirited companion:
  • Appearance:
    • Westies have a distinctive white harsh coat with a somewhat soft white undercoat.
    • They are medium-sized terriers with longer legs than other Scottish terrier breeds.
    • Their white double coat fills out their face, giving them a rounded appearance.
    • Bright, deep-set, almond-shaped eyes and pointed, erect ears complete their charming look.
  • Temperament:
    • Westies are intelligent, quick to learn, and can be good with children.
    • They were once used to hunt rodents, so they have a high prey drive.
    • The breed is active and social, but they don’t always tolerate rough handling.
  • History:
    • The modern Westie descended from several breeding programs of white terriers in Scotland.
    • Edward Donald Malcolm, 16th Laird of Poltalloch, played a significant role in creating the modern breed.
    • Westies remain popular in the UK and have been successful at Crufts.
In summary, Westies are lively, intelligent, and social dogs, making them wonderful companions for families and individuals alike. 🐾❤️
