The West Highland White Terrier, or "Westie," is a lively dog ​​brimming with self-confidence. This Scottish breed is small but brave. Originally bred to hunt otter and fox, their hunting instincts can certainly still be seen in their behavior. They are very alert and will bark when they sense something is amiss. Their cheerful and playful nature makes them easy to get along with children. Moreover, the Westie usually gets along well with other dogs. They are certainly not a fragile little dog. They are loyal and affectionate to their owner, but often can't completely hide their stubborn temperament.
