West Highland White Terrier
I'm alert, loyal, cheerful, determined, eager.
The West Highland White Terrier has a mind of its own and the self-assurance to use it. They surely aren’t lacking anything in the confidence department. It’s these characteristics that make Westies ideal candidates for therapy or search-and-rescue dogs.
Westies have tons of energy and really love to take full advantage of life. They’re extremely social, silly and loving towards children, and they adapt well to homes with other pets. They prefer to hang out inside instead of outdoors.
