About west highland white terriers
Although these little white dogs were originally meant to be rodent-hunting dogs, or “ratters”, today’s Westies are primarily bred as companion dogs.
With a feisty, spunky personality, a Westie is not your typical lap dog. They are happy, active dogs and love to be running and exploring outdoors. They are a hardy, independent breed that is loyal, entertaining, and love to be with people.
