Westies or Scotties. Which do you prefer?

I prefer dogs from North. Northies.

Georgie the Westie.

Ruby!

Dollface thread.

White Westie and a white Scottie are cute.

Although I really prefer the black Scotties.

They all excrete the same.

Are they rescue dogs?

Are they dogs thrown away by their previous owner?

Welshies are superior to both (I"m biased though). Westies are even cuter than Scotties but both are great.

I think Scotties are becoming quite rare.

Welshies are indeed cute, R9.

However, Scotties and Westies are much more closely related to each other.

I've never heard that, R10.

Why is that?

I follow this Westie on Instagram.

she'd been naughty...

Westies were developed from the Cairn...this is why

[quote]The person most closely associated with developing the modern breed of West Highland White Terrier is Edward Donald Malcolm, 16th Laird of Poltalloch. Malcolm owned terriers used to work game; the story told is that a reddish-brown (Cairn) terrier was mistaken for a fox and shot. Following this, Malcolm decided to develop a white terrier breed, which became known as the "Poltalloch Terrier".

R11, I know, I know...but I have to speak out on behalf of my breed lol. A Welshman always wins!

Why is Wales part of the UK then?

Yikes, where did YOU pop up from , R16?

That was nasty and uncalled for.

some of them talk..listen carefully

he literally says "Yeah, I wanna play!" ^^

and "I love you"

Here you go, R15.

Just for you!

A veterinarian once told me in the early 2000s, when George W Bush had a Scottie: “a difficult little dog for a difficult little man.”

Roosevelt also famously had a Scottie

[quote]Or should I say "nippers."

I can't believe you wrote this

R24, my brother has a lot of Scotties, and they don't really bite.

They just kind of nip at you. Like George W. Bush's dog did to the reporter.

Our Westie passed on two years ago. These videos remind me of him SO much; he did all of these things.

Nippers? You DARE use the N word?!

I've been thinking of getting a Westie. Do they shed a lot? Do they require a lot of grooming?

My BFF back home just got a Westie puppy a few weeks ago, and she was bitching to me about him being an ankle-biter. Plus he's shredding his pee-pads.

But he's decidedly NOT a rescue. She told me she couldn't find an adult Westie to adopt anywhere, hence the puppy. So I told her she deserved to get her ankles bitten and that he would grow out of it. Hopefully.

Ours didn't shed, but we had him groomed every four months or so, just to keep him neat and clean.

They are lovely breeds--very intelligent and funny--but like most terriers, incredibly stubborn and willful. They need strong discipline through obedience courses, and even then it's hard to break their wills.

[quote]I've been thinking of getting a Westie. Do they shed a lot? Do they require a lot of grooming?

Yes, they do shed. Not so much grooming. Once a week a good brush....every 3 months or so a proper visit to the dog parlor.

[quote]Welshies are superior to both (I"m biased though).

R9 are you the guy who posted photos of your beautiful Welshie some time back? - one with a haircut the other without?

I remember Laura Bush laughed and said George Bush worshipped their Scottie and the dog was indifferent to him. Scotties are adorable but very stubborn and independent.

R33, yes, that was me lol. I'm glad you remembered! As you can see, I love my dog (he's my first dog ever).

Is he a rescue dog?

Westies for sure. Cute, sporty, game little animals. Love their shaggy white coats.

R22, I've never liked Scotties, but ever since W had Scotties, I've disliked them more. Or maybe it's the other way around.

The video at R3 is cute, but people who have white dogs have a moral obligation to society to clean that discoloration from their hair. It is abomination. Groom yer dawg!

R36, nope. I got him from a breeder. I got so lucky with my dog. Even though he's a terrier and defiinitely crazy, He cracks me up and he's the most loving dog I've ever met. And he's almost always happy.

You should be more open to Scotties, R37.

They're so smart, and they have very unique personalities.

It's true that many are high strung, but every now and then a lucky owner will get one with a sweet disposition.

And they're also very beautiful and regal dogs.

The day I retire I'm getting a Black Scottie, can't wait.

Westies age very well - they're pretty sprightly until the end. They also get cuter and cuter looking as they thicken out and look like teddy bears...but they can get grumpy - beware!

Ewoks.

Lol R42!

I have always thought that Westies and Scotties looked like Ewoks.

That's why they're so cute.

Westies always get those brown stains around their mouths and butt.. I prefer black coated scotties.

[quote] Westies always get those brown stains around their mouths and butt..

So do I.

Lol R47.

Don't make me post a picture.

um, these are ewoks

[quote] um, these are ewoks

Yub nub.

I recently saw a brunette Scotty(?) with a westie on the street. Twin build.

I didn't want to stalk so I had to pass. I don't interrupt people when they're with their dogs.
