Curious Westie

I have decided to write blog that will contain Cute West Highland Terrier photos, stories and information!  In addition, I will try to add some tidbits on care and important news about Westies. So, if you would like to submit your photos or stories to me, please do so using the contact form to the left!  We'd be glad to post them on the site and make your Westie famous!

Westies have a double coat with a soft, furry undercoat and a stiffer outer coat. The tough texture of the outer coat doesn’t retain dirt, keeping the dog clean and protecting the undercoat. It’s necessary to comb or brush all the way through to the undercoat to prevent mats. In general, the undercoat doesn’t grow in until the Westie is at least a year old; in some cases, it can even take up to five years. It’s easy to keep the Westie white: When he’s a puppy, brush his coat once a week, using a pin brush or comb. Adults require daily brushing.
