Despite their size, Westies make very good watchdogs. They also like to dig and bark. If a Westie is allowed to become the pack leader, it may snap when irritated. A lack of leadership on the owner’s part can cause many behavior problems, such as biting, guarding food and furniture. A Westie that has an owner who knows how to display firm, confident, leadership will not experience behavioral problems. These problems can be corrected once the owner becomes the  true pack leader.

If you are looking at your first Westie, Grooming is always a worry for first time owners.  Westies have a straight, shorthaired double coat that is easy to groom and sheds little to no hair. Brush them regularly with a stiff bristle brush which should keep the coat clean. Bathing is needed only when necessary. Trim around the ears and eyes with blunt-nosed scissors. The full coat should be trimmed about every four months and stripped twice annually.
