The West Highland White Terrier also known as westie shares a history with that of the Dandie Dinmont, Skye, Scottish, and Cairn Terriers; they are all considered branches of the same breed.
In this video, we are counting down the top 10 facts about the Westies that you might not know.
A Quick Overview:
[Group: Terrier Group]
Weight: 15-20 pounds
Height: 11 inches (male). 10 inches, female
Life Expectancy: 13-15 years
The West Highland White Terrier is a bold, confident, fun-loving, intelligent dog who can find joy in the simplest pleasures of life, such as squeaky toys, a belly rub, and food. His happy disposition and love of life make him a favorite for many, in spite of his mischievousness. He doesn’t lack any self-esteem, but he’s not so overbearing in his confidence that his self-assurance becomes a negative trait. He is friendly and gets along with everyone, and he enjoys being part of his family.
Westies are generally healthy, but like all breeds, they’re prone to certain health conditions. Not all Westies will get any or all of these diseases, but it’s important to be aware of them if you’re considering this breed.
Because the Westie has a hard coat, bathing too often can be more harmful than helpful. But, no worries! To support West Highland’s rough coat and delicate skin, an adult dry dog food formulated with specific amino acids, fatty acids and flax seeds – Royal Canin breed health nutrition could be a great kibble for your westie.

My little Westie Joey passed away on my sister's birthday we had him for 13 years and he was the best boy we've ever had and I'll always miss him and he did love life to the most with that sparkle in his eye he always had a skip in his step as well whenever we took him out on walk it's actually really good with small animals he bathes quick friends with the rabbits while he was still around and he helped out the cats when they're kittens never harming them he also kept the chicken safe when he was still around and when we still had chickens
My Westie, Nina, had a loud bark. And I mean, loud! It was startling. She was also stubborn and hard to control at times. Wanted to eat everything she could, edible or not. But SUPER friendly and sociable. Went up to nearly everyone we came across and greeted them like they were best friends. Also, super loyal and just wanted to be near us. I miss her dearly.
How many love of westie sites are there out there on the internet ? I don't know but alot!
I call mine my Guardian Angel because I can’t make a move without him right there with me. I love him more then words can say.
That is the breed I favor, after visiting the store I had the chance to pet, hold and be loved by them, then lost to someones purchase and my need for a hip replacement, hope for future will have a chance for a Westie.
We just adopted a westi from a rescue but he just stands at the door and barks when I let him out to go potty. Any suggestions
My partner has 2 westies. They are ruined and are everything that I don't want in a dog. The male thinks
is the boss with my partner. He does pretty much as he is told when I am with him. A real pain in the backside otherwise. The female is more amenable, thankfully. They get 2 wee half hour stroll a day with my partner. Me, 2 hours. They go home and sleep.
Life with my westie is that awesome I can’t find a word best to explain how great life is with my westie she’s mental everyone who comes into the house she likes to run at them and head butt them in the knee yo to all the westie owners does your dog like to run and head butt any visitors in the knee 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Martinn Scorsese the Cairn Terrier was rescued 14 years ago and co stars as B.I.N.GO in this Buddy Bear Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eoi5aAfD6FE
They bark a lot
Well, it depends, my parents' Westie lived quite happily with my rabbit for my whole rabbit's life. In our Westie's head, the rabbit was part of the pack and he would protect the little fellow from other dogs.
Don't fall for their cuteness their eviilll…I'm just kidding but they do give you a run for your money. you need a lot of energy and time to take care of them. They "expect" to be played with all day.
R. I. P. Buster. Love you and miss you. You were the best.
My westie is only 10 months and is very playful but doesn't take No for an answer or he might get aggressive
Our current Westie, Molly, is our fifth Westie. We have had one since 1970. Muffy joined our family when I was stationed in England.
Since then we have had Misty, Maddie, Katie and now Molly. Each had their own personality but all were true Westies, spunky and lovable. Wouldn't have any other breed !!
This is one of those Chinese fighting dogs right?
coconut my favorite.. I had 2.. Winston Churchill and Zachariah Zac I miss their spunk..
I miss mine every much
Eternamente apaixonada pelos westies! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I grew up with a cognitive disability and my westie, Millie, made me feel so comfortable every day. These are the perfect dogs for anyone with silent pains, as they can make you forget the world.
OMG all the 10 traits are true with my westie 🤣🤣🤣
My Westie, Snowball is the greatest guy in the world! I love him so much! Yes he has a mind of his own, but I like that. My 2 human sons are the same!
Westies! In out..out in…. in out ….all day
I CV live by myself with my two year old Westie. She does’ take play Unless I am playing with her. She won’t fetch a ball, chase it or show any interest, I’m sad for her because I have not been able to walk her for health reasons. She has a garden. Latest gift for her a licking May, but it does’nt last long. Any tips please.🙏
I had my Westie named Westley for one month shy of 18 years! When I was young I wanted to be a screenplay writer and made many movie scripts with him as the main character, then when I was in a high school TV Production class I filmed a mini-movie parody of Forrest Gump with Westley as the star! At the beginning of the movie, instead of the iconic feather coming down, I put a dog biscuit on a string flying through the air and it landed on the park bench with Westley where he told his story about his life! 😹🐶❤️
I have 4 Westies, the parents and their two daughters. They are all fixed now. Love them.
We have had 4 Westies over the last 30 years. In December we are going to get our 5th puppy. So exciting! Yes, your video was preety factual. Both good and bad.
