General Comments
I have owned two Westies, my first past away aged 14 which left me heart broken. However a couple of months later, I got another aged 8 weeks and, 8 years later, I am still a happy Westie owner. I have found that Westies make very good house dogs, they are loyal and very docile. I would recommend this breed to anyone looking for a dog and who has young children. One thing I have noticed however is their stubborness. They are generally very head strong and if they see something that interests them, they will go after it despite all earthly attempts to call them back!
Regardless, I would not have it any other way. Both the
West Highland White Terriers I have owned have given me great joy.
