Why does water rust?

Iron corrodes to form an iron oxide. This oxide is commonly called rust. The reaction involves a transfer of electrons from iron to oxygen. Water is commonly slightly acidic due to the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The acid brings hydrogen ions in contact with the iron which allows the formation of an iron hydroxide intermediary compound which hastens the formation of iron oxide, rust. Ships at the bottom of the ocean rust more slowly as there is less oxygen and the water is less acidic. The only way to prevent rust forming is to prevent oxygen coming in contact with the iron through the application of paint, oil, plastic or another metal.

Why are westies beards brown?

Westie beards should NEVER be brown, if it is that means the dog's white fur is badly stained. Sometimes reddish-brown "rust" stains can happenfrom minerals in their drinking water. If that happens start giving the Westie filtered water. (A Brita filter will do.) The rust stains will eventually grow out. If you want to remove the stains in the meantime, there are commercial products available, or see a dog groomer.
