The Westie is a compact, hardy, white coated, people-oriented terrier that originated in the highlands of Scotland as a hunting dog. People unfamiliar with West Highland White Terriers often will call them Scotties. Although the Scottish Terrier breed or Scottie does appear in a cream color as well as black and brindle, it is never true white. If the terrier is solid white, it is a Westie.
The Westie is 10-11 inches at the shoulder and normally weighs 14-22 lbs. The breed attains an alert appearance from its dark rimmed eyes, prick (pointed) ears, and carrot shaped tail that it carries straight up when spotting prey or a potential dog treat. The white coat is about two inches long when trimmed and consists of a somewhat wiry outer coat and a soft undercoat.
Your plush Westie stands 13" tall.
