Description
Westies are little dynamos, overflowing with an endearing mix of confidence and cheeky charm. Their bright, inquisitive eyes and perpetually wagging tail often belie a surprisingly sturdy and independent spirit. They approach life with boundless enthusiasm, whether it's exploring every nook of the garden or vying for prime lap-snuggling position. Originally bred to hunt vermin, they retain a keen, fearless spark and a tendency to bark at anything they deem amiss, making them excellent, albeit sometimes vocal, watchdogs. While deeply affectionate with their families, Westies appreciate a good adventure and thrive on mental stimulation, proving that even small dogs can pack a mighty personality.
