Meet the West Highland White Terrier—a small dog with a big “don’t-mess-with-me” attitude packed in a snowball of fluff. With its signature bright white coat, pointed ears, and intense dark eyes, the Westie always looks like it’s about to file a formal complaint… or lead a revolution. These dogs might be lap-sized, but they are no lapdogs. They strut with the confidence of a CEO and bark like they’re guarding a fortress—usually from suspicious things like tumbleweeds, shadows, or your slippers. Endlessly curious and energetic, Westies make excellent watchdogs, enthusiastic diggers, and world-class charmers. While they love to snuggle, they demand that snuggling occur on their terms and only after they’ve patrolled the backyard three times. With a Westie, you’ll never need a doorbell or a dull moment again.
