History: The West Highland White Terrier shares its roots with the other terriers of Scotland, including the Skye, Cairn, and Scottish Terriers, all used for hunting small game. At one point, these terriers were all considered one breed, but developed into distinct breeds as a result of selective breeding. While the Westie had been around for centuries prior, it didn't really gain attention until 1907 under the name Poltalloch Terrier. Over the years, the breed has gone by several different names. In fact, it was actually registered by the American Kennel Club (AKC) as the Roseneath Terrier in 1908, but its name was changed to West Highland White Terrier in 1909. Since then, the Westie has become one of the most popular terriers in America.

Temperament: West Highland White Terriers are alert, energetic, and playful dogs with a happy disposition. They are friendly and can get along with just about everyone, including strangers and children. Around other dogs, however, it's possible for a Westie to become aggressive. While they love people, Westies are not lap dogs. They enjoy being on the move and can become destructive if not even enough exercise. These dogs are fairly easy to train, but their terrier nature can cause them to be a bit stubborn. With consistent training, though, Westies are easy to please and quick to learn. Most of the time, West Highland White Terriers are happy-go-lucky, fun-loving family companions.
