Have you ever wondered why a Westie terrier likes to dig and bark? The reason for this is that this adorable, compact pet that is commonly raised by their owners as lapdogs was originally bred to be a vermin hunter.
This hunter’s instinct of the Westie terrier was developed in mid-19th century when a Cairn terrier breeder had some white puppies in his litters. He eventually bred these pups for controlling rats, otter, fox and other vermin.
The same hunting instinct has also contributed in making the Westie a tough and brave dog despite its small stature. Nonetheless, with the proper training the Westie terrier remains as the lovable companion that most people now regard it to be.

How long do Westies live? I was out for a stroll with my boy Jonathan and Pepper our Westie Dog by the sea shore where we live. I met a neighbour called John who I hadn’t seen for ages. I was terribly stunned to see him on his very own because he has got a black Labrador and the two of them are inseparable. Naturally I enquired about Barney and his face dropped. I knew something was very wrong.

West Highland white terrier lives an average of 15+ years, and usually has a litter of two to five puppies.
What is the history behind the West Highland White Terrier breed? This breed originated in Scotland developed in the high mountains of West Scotland, to hunt vermin. They claim a common ancestry to the Scotch Terrier.
References to the existence of the West Highland White Terrier can be seen as early as the 18th century, like one painting done by Sir Edwin Landseer. The piece entitled “The Breakfast Party” clearly features the West Highland Terriers.
Another name of the West Highland White Terrier, is as the Poltalloch terrier. The name refers to the home of Col. E.D. Malkolm, the first breeder of these breed. In 1907, the breed then registered as the Roseneath terrier, little Skye and Cairn. Then in 1909, AKC officially changed the breed’s name to what it is known as today, West Highland White Terrier breed.
In the past West Highland White Terriers, were considered to belong to the one breed, with Dandie Dinmont, Skye, Cairn and Scottish Terriers. However, although they share common ancestors, selective breeding resulted in the differences between their coat type and colors.
A surprising fact about this breed is, given that the West Highland White Terrier was originally bred to traipse the steep and rugged mountain sides, Westies are well adjusted to today’s living conditions. As long as they are walked several times a day, they are good apartment dwellers.
It’s not that hard to see then that the West Highland White Terrier definitely qualifies as one of man’s best friends.
