When it comes to spunk, these adorable little terriers have it in
abundance! The
West Highland White Terrier dog breed originated in Scotland - first
developed by the Malcolm family - either from a mix of popular terrier
breeds or as a "cast-off" of the
Cairn
Terrier dog. These "tiny terrors" were originally used to hunt
otter and fox, and always enjoy chasing the odd cat or rabbit.
Self-reliant and spirited,
Westie dogs make good family pets. They are tenacious, bold and
loyal, making good watch dogs. West Highland White Terriers have a pure
white double coat and black eyes, nose, paws and toenails. Westies
require daily brushing and plenty of exercise.
Thinking of adding a
Westie puppy to your family? They love to play and do well in
families with well-behaved children - either rural or suburban. But be
warned... Westies love to dig!
