Breed Group: Terrier Size:  Small Exercise Required:  1 hour per day Length of Coat:  Medium

The West Highland White Terrier, otherwise known as a ‘Westie,’ is a small and outgoing breed and makes an ideal pet as they have such a friendly nature.  Popular also due to their small size, they are usually around 28cm. 

The main health problem this breed encounters is skin problems/allergies.  A good groom once or twice a year and a professional trim twice a year should keep them in good condition.  They love exercise but will adapt to as much as you can give them, an hour per day should suffice providing you have a large garden.
