Westies were bred to kill vermin in Scotland. They usually dig to get to their prey's underground burrows. Today, westies are not usually called upon to perform their jobs, but they still have the instinct. Today, they are used in search-and-rescue work, therapy dogs (not guide dogs), and as beloved family pets and show dogs. They are also good at agility.
