West Highland White Terrier

West Highland White Terriers are a terrier breed originating in Scotland.

Adults normally weigh 8 to 10kg. The tail should be 12.5 to 15 cm long and should be carried erect. Westie tails are never docked. The ears are small, upright, not too far apart.

These dogs were originally bred for hunting in the Highlands. The West Highland White Terrier is a tough, resilient terrier, that will go without much fear after foxes and badgers.
