West Highland White Terrier

The West Highland White Terrier is a small but sturdy terrier breed originating from Scotland, where it was originally bred for hunting small animals such as foxes and rodents. Famous for its bright white coat, alert expression, and confident personality, the Westie has become one of the most beloved terrier breeds worldwide.

Westies have a compact, muscular build with erect ears, dark expressive eyes, and a harsh white double coat that gives them their iconic appearance.

West Highland White Terriers require moderate daily exercise such as walks, play sessions, and mental stimulation to stay healthy and happy. Early training and socialization help them develop good behavior around children, strangers, and other pets.
