Breed History

Despite the deceptive appearance of the small West Highland White Terrier, these feisty dogs actually hunted otter and fox. Natives of Poltalloch Scotland, they probably share a common ancestor with Scottish, Cairn and Dandie Dinmont Terriers, and developed their distinctive white coat through selective breeding.

Although able to live happily indoors, these energetic dogs love outdoor activity and human attention. The coat requires less attention than might be expected and "Westies" make lovable pets.
