The Standard For The West Highland White
General Appearance
The West Highland White Terrier is a small, game, well balanced hardy looking dog,
exhibiting good showmanship, strongly built, deep in chest and back ribs, with a straight
back and muscular legs. The coat is about two inches long, white in colour, hard,
with plenty of soft undercoat.
The dog should be neatly
presented, the longer coat on the back and sides, trimmed to blend into the shorter neck
and shoulder coat. Hair is left around the head to act as a frame for the face to yield a
typical Westie expression.
Color and Pigmentation
The color is white, as defined by the breed's name. Nose should be
black. Black pigment is most desirable on the lips, eye rims, pads of feet,
nails
