West Highland White Terriers were selectively bred for their colour so that they would be easily visible in the heater on Scottish moors.
This sturdy, hardy, compact little terrier has a two inch all white coat that is uncurled with a soft, dense undercoat.
They have bright, dark, deep-set eyes with a penetrating gaze.
The ears are small, pointed and erect, giving the animal an alert ready-for-anything look.
The tail is carried jauntily, is about 5-6 inches (12 - 15cm.) long and should not be docked. It has a deep chest and muscular limbs.
The Westie has a short, closely fitted jaw with scissors bite, a pronounced stop, and slightly convex skull.
Temperament: Alert, Friendly, Courageous, Hardy, Active, Independent
Health Problems: Prone to chronic hernias, liver disease Legg-Cavé-Perthes syndrome (hip problems), jawbone calcification, cherry eye and skin problems.
