New Family member?

As most of you will know, I had to give my dog away in order to move to Australia and live with Luke. And as you also might know I have been wanting to get a new dog since.

I had set my mind on a King Charles Cavalier but I have now changed my mind. A couple of days ago I found the perfect breed for both Luke and I, West Highland White Terrier.

Decription from a website:

Known to many people as the "Westie," this breed is a small dog but is very well balanced and hardy.

The Westie is a very intelligent dog who loves human companionship both indoors and outdoors. Happy, curious, and always trying to get into the middle of everything, they are considered one of the most affectionate of all the terriers with their also demanding personality-yet can still feel jealousy if their homeland is threatened. . Due to a high need to stay active when awake, sleeping about 13 hours a day is required by the little Westie when they finally collapse.

Intelligent as the West Highland White Terrier is, it is important to understand the whole concept of the Westie personality and essence of who they are. One article says it all, "The Westie is really a big dog inside a small dog's body." The dog has the personality that is spunky, intelligent, bold, independent, lots of self-esteem--and stubborn. These varied qualities of the little Westie terrier breed in mind, will help prepare a person for the beginning "fun of training a Westie."

See a funny movie below, of the little terrier playing with a German Shepherd.
