Westie is another name given for the West Highland white terrier. These dogs are sturdy built, but small in size. They have a round face. They have a tapering muzzle. It is blunt and it’s roughly shorter than the skull. They have a black nose.
Westies are descended from Cairn Terriers, who occasionally whelped white puppies naturally, and Scottish Terriers; who also occasionally produced white offspring.

The Westie is a social dog that likes to be at the center of activity. It is independent, demanding, and stubborn; but also friendly and happy. It can be shy around strangers and doesn’t like rough play.

The Westie should be skilled to be accustomed to any grooming features as a youthful puppy prior to grooming actually begins, beginning with two to three minutes a morning to start with.

EXERCISE
Westies are mad about playing with a ball, romping and frolicking. They need lots of exercise so do not deny them it. They enjoy digging and some of them like to wander off so make sure your garden is very well fenced.
