About the West Highland White Terrier
Known for their vivid white double coat and confident, alert personality, Westies are small terriers with an outsized presence. Originally bred in Scotland to work, they’re intelligent, playful and adaptable — equally at home in an apartment or on an acreage. Adults typically weigh around 6–9 kg (up to about 20 lb), making them an ideal small breed for many Canadian families. To learn everything about the breed, read our complete West Highland White Terrier breed guide.
Temperament and Traits
Taking after their terrier roots, Westies are curious, energetic and love to play, chase and explore. Their independent streak means they respond best to positive, reward-based training and early socialization. Well-raised Westies generally get along beautifully with children and other pets. See our full guide to Westie temperament and personality.
Grooming and Coat Care
That signature white coat needs regular brushing and periodic tidying or hand-stripping to stay clean and keep its texture. Westies are low-shedding, which many families with mild sensitivities appreciate — though it’s worth remembering that no dog is truly hypoallergenic. For the full routine, read our Westie grooming and shedding guide.
Health and Lifespan
Westies are a generally hardy breed with a typical lifespan of around 12–16 years. As with any purebred, responsible breeding — health testing and thoughtful pairings — gives puppies the healthiest possible start. Learn more about Westie health and lifespan.
