She is affectionate and demanding, one of the friendliest terriers. She is not friendly, however, toward small animals. She enjoys a daily romp in a safe area or a walk on lead, as well as playtime at home. She is independent and somewhat stubborn and may bark and dig. West Highland White Terrier Dog Care The Westie needs either a short to moderate walk on leash or a good game in the yard every day.

Her wire coat needs combing two or three times weekly, plus shaping every three months. Shaping for pets is by clipping or stripping. In some areas, it may be difficult to keep her coat white.

The West Highland white terrier shares her roots with the other terriers of Scotland, proving herself on fox, badger and various vermin.

At one time the Westie, Dandie Dinmont, Skye, Cairn and Scottish terriers were all considered one breed with considerable diversity. Selective breeding based on such qualities as coat type or color could have produced distinctive strains that would have been easily maintained in the relative isolation of the various islands in the country. The Westie first gained attention in 1907 as the Poltalloch terrier, named for the home of Col. E.D. Malcolm, who had been breeding the short-legged white terriers for the previous 60 years. The breed has gone under several different names, including Roseneath, Poltalloch, white Scottish, little Skye and Cairn. In fact, the AKC first registered her as the Roseneath terrier in 1908, but the name was changed to West Highland white terrier in 1909. Since that date she has made quite a name for herself, establishing herself as one of the most competitive terriers in the show ring and one of the most popular terriers in the home.

We strongly recommend that you access the Westie Profiler. Additionally, we recommend that you access and read the Westie Frequently Asked Questions page and the Acquiring a West Highland White Terrier section. THE WHWTCA cannot guarantee and is not responsible for the health, temperament, and quality of the puppies available for placement by its Club members listed on the Breeder Resource List. THE WHWTCA is not responsible for any breed or purchase contracts, guarantees, assurances, or promises made between the Club members on its Breeder Resource List and the puppy purchaser. Once you make contact with the breeder(s), what transpires is beyond the control and responsibility of the WHWTCA, as these are contractual matters between the individual buyer and the individual seller of the puppy.

The members/breeders listed on this site may or may not have puppies at this time. Contacting them, however, may help to establish a relationship which can lead you to future litters. We also suggest you refer to our Litter Listing site - found here - to see if there are puppies presently available in your area. If you have any questions about the West Highland White Terrier, please visit our TEAM Westie site and contact the Regional Resource Counselor in your area.UPDATE: We are expecting a litter in September of 2016 and we currently have 4 female and 251 posts, read 390,546 times 1,258 posts, read 3,931,030 times Not sure of a breeder but here's the local rescue information.

Ours is a spayed female. Good luck finding one for you! Originally Posted by mjb24 Westies are cool little dogs. I had a roommate for a few months that had a 1yo Westie.

"At cost"... what about the genetic testing beforehand? (Westie lung disease, anyone?) I love how people think you should just stick any two dogs together and make puppies. To the OP, go to the Westie rescue (I see you have in an app- good for you!) or find a reputable breeder that requires a spay/ neuter contract.
