The West Highland White Terrier, also known as the Westie, is a charmer with a surprisingly tough spirit. This compact and sturdy dog boasts a distinctive, all-white double coat that's hard and weather-resistant. Their dark eyes and button nose add a touch of charm to their fox-like head, while their pricked ears and often long tail complete their unmistakable look.
Despite their adorable plush-toy appearance, Westies are true terriers at heart. They possess surprising strength and courage, and their alert, active nature reflects their independent spirit.
