“A loyal companion”
Written on: 14/07/2012
We have recently lost one of our cherished westies. Although the pain we are feeling at the moment is almost unbearable we take comfort in the fact that we did have 14 wonderful years with her. West HIghland Terriers make fantastic pets. They are full of character and yes, can be a little stubborn. (read more)

“Hard work but worth it!”
Written on: 14/05/2012 by Mabel-the-Westie (1 review written)
We have had our 10 week old Westie pup, Mabel, for one week now, and she is a little terror! She is so stubborn and cheeky and everyday she has a mad 10 minutes where she runs riot but she also loves to be cuddled on our lap and have her tummy tickled! When she nips or gets into trouble she responds well to a firm 'no' and several sharp claps. She only cries in her crate for the first five minutes then she gets bored and goes to sleep. We take her out at 11:30 - 12:00 every night for... (read more)

Written on: 11/03/2009 by Benem (1 review written)
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... (read more)

Written on: 02/03/2009 by anne Roy
I have just lost my adorable West Highland White Terrier Katie after 15 years. She was the most loving dog I have ever owned. She never chewed anything she shouldn't, she loved going in the car and never showed any aggression to any one or anything. She was a joy in my life and I am going to miss her so much. (read more)

Written on: 18/12/2008
I have three white West Highland White Terriers and love them to pieces. They are the humour and joy to my entire family. They each have their own personalities and each one requires personal alone time. They enjoy each other and love to chase lizzards. They enjoy sunbathing by the pool. They are a little put out when they have to come in from their leisure time. I would suggest this breed to anyone with children. My children play with them constantly. (read more)

Written on: 02/08/2008
Our world revolves around our little Westie girl. She is the sunshine in our life! She is beautiful, smart, funny, VERY energetic and a bit sassy. She wants to be right in the center of whatever we're doing. Westies refuse to be ignored. She is the perfect size. Her pure white coat is very easy to care for. She only needs a bath about once every 2 months or so. It's a good thing because she DOES NOT like baths. We've only had her for about 9 months, but we can't imagine life without her. We...

Written on: 06/07/2008
I have had a West Highland White Terrier for about four years now and she is the love of my life. I don't know where people say they like to bark as she rarely barks sure she does occasionally but not yappy by any means she is wonderful and i am considering getting another one. Best dog I've ever had very loyal and loving. One thing to be aware of is that they are sensitive when it comes to skin allergies. (read more)

Written on: 27/03/2008
My westie is very loving, loyal and affectionate. She is obedient, well behaved and playful. I have had many dogs over the years but have to say she is the best behaved and easy to train dog I have had the pleasure to own. She has never dug up my garden or made a mess in the house! She was so easy to train and do spend time all day at home while I am at work, so although she doesn't need the excersize I make sure she's walked twice a day and she loves it. Her bad point which really I smile... (read more)

Written on: 14/03/2007 by x Karlie x (1 review written)
I had my westie Dandy for my birthday in November and he has a lovely temperament, never growls or snaps. He tries to play with my cat but the cat isn't impressed by his efforts. If he is left on his own for a long time he entertains his self with his toys. He doesn't need to be walked every day but loves it when you take him for one. Overall he is a very loving dog and a friend to all the family! (read more)

Written on: 07/04/2006 by littlewestie
I breed Westies, and I have got 3 puppies at the moment. They are very energetic and they always like to play. One of my puppies is called Chanel and she is so beautiful. They sometimes bark in the night, and they do love to dig holes in the garden, but they are brilliant family pets, and I highly recommend you to buy a Westie because they are the cutest breed ever. They are very gorgeous. I love my puppies so much, and I would never ever change them for the world because they are one of the... (read more)

Written on: 30/01/2006 by shrimpsgirl (1 review written)
I got a West Highland Terrier for my birthday present last year we got her because I've always grown up with a dog or 2 in the family. Before I got our westie Ellie our ex guide dog Maude died and our Jack Russell cross had taken ill so we thought it was a good idea to get another dog. So we bought Ellie locally and shes been the best pet I've ever owned and I live on a farm so that says a lot! (read more)

If you like your dog and she's loyal, why have you given her a 0/10 rating?

Written on: 10/05/2005 by bookmom515 (2 reviews written)
The West Highland White Terrier is our first dog...and it's the only breed I'll ever consider. She's the perfect size. She's affectionate...if there's a lap available she's on it...loves to sleep with my son. Not a "yappy" type of terrier that barks a lot...we hardly hear from her. But when we do...we know she's warning us, and is pretty accurate with her alerts. Some people say they get a lot of skin irritations....we've been lucky...she hasn't had any in the 7 years we've had her. Was... (read more)

My husband bought me a Westie for my birthday in April last year, he is adorable my baby, we nearly lost him in July due to a skin infection, it was then we realised just how much he meant to us, I really don't know what we would do without him he is cheeky, but lovely with children, as we have four grandchildren he loves nothing more than digging up my garden and chewing anything he can get his teeth into, but we wouldn't be without him now.

My West Highland Terrier is placid and only has odd moments of extreme activity. He likes lots of affection and attention. Does not like to be alone he cries if i go upstairs. He was hard to house train. A very alert little dog that learns from one person fast and ignores everyone else, selective hearing does not bark much excellent with children my youngest is 6 with downs syndrome he is brillant with her. Very cheeky likes to run off with things An all round entertaining little family member (read more)

Written on: 05/06/2004 by cjrog20 (10 reviews written)
West Highland White Terrier - They are white and are very cute. I haven't seen one that isn't really active and playful. My girlfriend has one and it's amazing. He was very easy to teach and can follow all sorts of commands. You can see when he is happy or sad, and he is definitely one of the family and not just a dog. Although they are small, I'd suggest a lot of floor space because they like to move!!! (read more)

Written on: 18/11/2006
I absolutely echo shrimpsgirl's comments on her Westie. We have an 11 month old, and he is absolutely the same; loving, affectionate and easy to train. But if he doesn't want to come in from the garden, then no amount of treats will do. He has brought so much pleasure to my life. He is my first ever Westie, and I would never buy anything else.
