Size: Height at the withers 25-28 cm, weight 7-10 kg.
Appearance: Compact, sturdily built, dark eyes and nose that contrast beautifully with the white coat, erect ears, and a short tail.
Origin: Native to Scotland (Poltalloch), originally bred to hunt vermin such as rats and foxes.
Character: The Westie is confident, courageous, playful, and affectionate, but also independent and stubborn (typical terrier).
He is alert, watchful, and social with the family, but can sometimes be headstrong during training.
Good with children with proper guidance.
Care: Exercise: Requires daily exercise and mental stimulation (approximately 1 hour).
Coat: Regular grooming (brushing, trimming) to prevent tangles; sheds moderately.
Lifespan: Average 12-16 years.
In short: a cheerful, robust, and charming family dog with a big heart in a small, white package!
Ideal for active owners who love a lively but not too large dog.
