Westies are popular because they do not shed like German Shepherds or cats. They do require regular maintenance like any other dog, but they will not leave your furniture covered in hair.

Do westies shed?
We own 2 West Highland Terriers. We enjoy them because they do not shed hair like a German Shepherd or cats. When they get dirty, we put a towel in their cage. Dog comes out clean; towel comes out dirty. We wash our Westies every 2-3 months and can attest to their overall ease of care. They reward you by being wonderful lap dogs and great fun.
