Known the world over as the "Westie," this Scottish breed has cast its spell on dog lovers on every continent. This Comprehensive Owner's Guide begins with a history of the terriers from the Land of Scots, retelling how breed type developed and how this one-of-a-kind all-white dog rose to favor. Confirming the breed's large international following, the chapter traces the breed's exportation to the United States, Canada, Australia, and beyond. The characteristic chapter describes the Westie's personality, physical traits, and special requirements, providing excellent evidence that this "cute, apartment-sized, filled with personality-plus and very active" purebred dog happily fits into every home that welcomes him with open, loving arms. New owners will welcome the well-prepared chapter on finding a reputable breeder and selecting a healthy, sound puppy.
