About West Highland White Terrier Puppies, Breeders & DogFacts
The West Highland White Terrier, originating in Scotland, is a small earth working breed in the Terrier Group developed to hunt rats, foxes, and badgers among the rocky Highland terrain. Confident, entertaining, and hardy, they thrive in active households and enjoy daily walks, play sessions, and interactive games. Typically 10-11 inches tall and 15-20 pounds, they sport a harsh white double coat that benefits from weekly brushing and hand stripping or trimming every few months, along with routine ear cleaning, dental care, and nail trims. Friendly yet independent, Westies suit families, singles, and seniors who appreciate a spirited companion with true terrier character.
