You’ll find that under all of that long, coarse fur is an incredibly sturdy dog that seems like a bundle of energy. As a highly intelligent breed, Westies can be easy to train, especially if you provide the right positive reinforcements. They are a great example of why you should only use positive reinforcement – when you try to use negative reinforcement, they tend to get a lot more stubborn. That intelligence tends to make them independent, so you aren’t nearly as likely to have problems with separation anxiety as you do with many other smaller breeds. Loyal and faithful, Westies are great for individuals and families. They want to play and have a great time, making them quite the entertaining addition to the family. Once they’ve gotten all of that energy out of their system, they make great lounging companions. It’s hard to go wrong with a West Highland White Terrier because they have lived and worked very closely with people for generations. Once you have a West Highland White Terrier in your home, it’s really hard not to want to make them a permanent part of your family.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The West Highland White Terrier, or Westie for short, is a toy terrier dog breed of Scottish ancestry. These canines have a reputation for being active and cheerful, in addition to their unique appearance. Key features and background on the West Highland White Terrier are listed below. 1. The West Highland White Terrier is a small, compact dog with a double coat of straight, firm white fur. Their dark almond-shaped eyes and short, perked-up ears give them a lively, alert appearance. You can either dock the tail or wear it long and free. They have a lovely and unique appearance overall. 2. West Highland White Terriers are a toy dog breed, hence they are quite little. They normally weigh around 15-20 pounds (7-9 kg) and have an average height of 10-11 inches (25-28 cm) at the shoulder. 3. Westies have an exuberant, self-assured, and sociable temperament. They have a lot of character and are known for their feistiness. They have the potential to be very loving and devoted companions. They need to be socialized and trained from a young age because of their independence and stubbornness. 4. As an energetic breed, Westies need regular physical activity for their own good health and happiness. They need daily walks and recreation to burn off their excess energy. 5. Regular brushing is necessary to prevent matting of the breed's white coat and maintain its cleanliness. To keep their coat in good shape, Westies need to be brushed on a regular basis and trimmed or hand-stripped sometimes. Taking care of your teeth and ears on a regular basis is also crucial. 6. Although West Highland White Terriers are typically healthy, they are susceptible to a few common health concerns found in other dog breeds, such as skin ailments, hip dysplasia, and a few inherited disorders. It's crucial to find a reputable breeder who screens for these health conditions to lessen the risk. 7. Historically, West Highland White Terriers have been used to hunt foxes and other burrowing creatures. In order to prevent them from being mistaken for their prey, they were developed to have a white coat. They were originally bred for work, but over time they became popular pets and show dogs. In general, West Highland White Terriers are beloved for their adorable looks and enthusiastic demeanors. In the right home, they can be loving companions and devoted members of the family.
