The facial characteristics of Westies will vary according to their parents and their respective bloodlines. Pay close attention to the attributes of both parents when you are selecting puppies. I recommend purchasing from true Westie lovers who have both parents available for you to visit with. Inspect their papers carefully. While AKC and APR are reputable, they mostly only provide paperwork that can be manipulated by disreputable dog sellers. If you do not feel right about the seller, move on.

Yes, West Highland White Terriers, commonly known as Westies, can live longer than 14 years with proper care. Their lifespan typically ranges from 12 to 16 years, and many factors such as genetics, diet, exercise, and regular veterinary check-ups can influence their longevity. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and addressing any health issues promptly can help them live a longer, happier life.
The white fox terrier, sometimes called the English white terrier is now extinct. Although it enjoyed popularity in the 1860's, within 30 years, the breed was no longer around.

The key differences between a Bull Terrier and an English Bull Terrier are mainly in their appearance. The Bull Terrier typically has a more muscular build and a longer head shape, while the English Bull Terrier has a more egg-shaped head and a slightly smaller build. Additionally, the English Bull Terrier is known for its distinctive triangular eyes and unique personality traits.
The average lifespan of a Pit Bull Terrier is between 12 and 14 years, but they may live for even longer if well cared for.
They are intelligent and love learning tricks. On housebreaking, Westies can go either way --- some are relatively easy while others are difficult. Remember, tiny dogs have tiny bladders -- so any small-breed puppy WILL take longer to housebreak than a larger breed. Terriers, including Westies, can sometimes be stubborn -- it's not that they aren't intelligent, just that during training you have to keep things interesting for them because they get bored easily and when they do --- that's when they become stubborn. For a first-time trainer or first-time dog owner I would not recommend a terrier of any type. I love terriers and have trained many, but terriers are NOT for everyone. First-timers can have a particularly hard time with that dynamic terrier temperament.
The Black Russian Terrier does shed, but minimally. To minimize the shedding, keep them brushed regularly, or dogs with longer coats will leave big clumps of hair around the house.
