Also known as Westie
A cheeky little white terrier with a big personality
Bred in the Scottish Highlands to hunt vermin, the Westie is bold, cheerful and full of self-belief. It loves company and games, digs and chases readily, and its white coat needs regular grooming and skin care.

Best-matched service
Yes, they are small and adaptable if they get daily walks and play. Barking should be trained early to keep neighbours happy.
Only a little, as they have a harsh, wiry coat. It still needs brushing and regular stripping or trimming to stay tidy.
They are bright but stubborn, like many terriers. Short, fun, reward-based sessions work best.
