The West Highland White Terrier originated in Scotland. In the 19th century there was a lord named Malcolm. He loves to hunt with his dogs. However tomorrow and accidents you do not know which one comes first. During a hunt, a reddish-brown beagle was mistaken for a fox and shot. Seeing his dog killed by mistake, the whole person fell into great self-blame and grief. He thought bitterly. In order to prevent accidents from happening again, it was decided to develop a white-stemmed breed that would be easy to distinguish from prey. Breed and improve your own dog. Then a white terrier was born.
Malcolm and his hounds
The West Highland White Terrier was cultivated in 1915
As a small hound, he inherited a small size and agility. In his work, he is also unambiguous, and has become a rat catching master in the eyes of the ranch owner, and a small white whirlwind in the exhibition competition. It was introduced to the United States in 1908 and quickly became popular in the United States due to its cute appearance, and excellent qualities. It has always been ranked in the top three popular dog breeds.
In the long-term close cooperation with human beings, West Highland has developed a very trusting master, likes to stick to the owner at all times, and is very suitable as a playmate for children. But since he was introduced to China in the last century, few shovelers have chosen to feed him. Due to his clingy personality, if he is separated from his owner for a long time, he will suffer from separation anxiety, and the dog will even be depressed. It takes the host a lot of time to accompany him.
In addition, as a hunting dog, under his cute appearance is a combative personality. Even if the opposite is a dog with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, it is necessary to go up and compare it. Be sure to put on a leash when your dog is out.
West Highlands has a fragile stomach, and if you do not pay attention to diet, it is easy to diarrhea, and serious gastroenteritis can also lead to dog gastroenteritis. This is also a demanding requirement for the owner, who needs to cultivate their good eating habits and feed them regularly every day.
