PUPP

The West Highland white terrier is intelligient,, energetic and also a fun dog. I'm kind of one-sided, being the writer of Mad About Westies. To be honest, I favored larger dogs right up until we ended up our own westie puppy called Pepper. Today I'm absolutely won over.

I've found him such exciting, especially when indulging in soccer. He is simply smashing when dribbling the ball about. They make good guard dogs (question our neighbour) and definitely will broadcast to everyone the particular present of any type of unfamiliar person to the home.

Our own Westie adores traveling in the automobile; like the majority of pet dogs and goes loony when I get out his lead for taking him a stroll. It's difficult to visualize just how small he was, the instant he initially came into our home. He still chases our poor feline, though lately it's been supplying him a swipe, simply to tell him she was in the home well before he turned up.

Whenever the westie is actually fully grown it's got a height of about 10-11 ins with the male breed of dog and a bit smaller for your female. The body weight may go from 14 -20 lbs and when looked after with regular fitness and health checks, it will have an expected life of fifteen + years.

The westie has it's origins with Scotland, as may be guessed from the name. It had been initially bred to hut pests, but will turn out to be a amazing pet dog. Through my own, personal experience, I think it believes it's a big dog within smaller body. I have furthermore discovered it'll hardly ever back off from any other kind of dog.

Introduce ones Westie puppy into the right grooming routine as swiftly as possible. When you remember to brush their coat regularly, this can help to remove almost any dead hairs about the coat. As he grows to adult, our advice is that you attempt and get their coat cut about every 6 weeks, particularly in the summer.

All round you will have a trustworthy good chum as well as wonderful pet if he is given respect and love. Furthermore they have to know that you are the boss (alpha dog). Irrespective of the reason for getting a westie puppy or perhaps a dog, you have to know that pet dogs are really animals, never people. Actually for many owners this is a difficult association to get across, for the reason being is their own dogs are for some their youngsters.

Dogs through nature are really pack dogs and within each pack there's a leader, which is called the alpha dog. This alpha dog will make choices for the entire pack and everybody else within that pack has got a place and understands that spot. If you do not undertake the position of the leader the Westie will often attempt to step up to try and fill this particular roll. This is the time the problems begin.
