Westies, otherwise known as West Highland White Terriers, are friendly, spunky companions. With their reputation for being loyal and confident, these lovable furballs are sure to provide a lifetime of fun.
Beneath that cute exterior, Westies are quite tough. Bred to hunt rats and underground rodents, Westies will often chase anything that moves. That certainly doesn’t make them any less popular, though. According to the American Kennel Club, they are the most popular of the small terrier breeds!
Smart and adventurous, Westies love to play. Their independent nature makes them great dogs for both singles and families alike. Whether they’re zipping around or napping peacefully, Westies will steal your heart.
Coming up with a Westie dog name can be a lot of fun. One look at your sweet puppy probably brings to mind a plethora of adorable names. It’ll probably be tough to narrow them down!
No matter if you go for traditional, cute, or cool, remember that your puppy will have their name for life. So choose wisely and pick a name that truly reflects their personality. Here are great Westie dog names to get you started!
