Westies and miniature schnauzers are both terrriers and have some similarities. Both have a double coat and are about the same size. Both are usually under 20 pounds. Both are good family dogs, but need careful training to avoid "small dog syndrome" where the dog is allowed to be leader of the family "pack". Both are good watch dogs. Westies are white and schnauzers are often grey. Schnauzers may be slightly taller. The proportion of head to body is different. Schnauzers also come in larger sizes, ie the Giant Schnauzer.
