West Highland White Terrier

history

The West Highland White Terrier was born in Scotland - the inhabitants of this beautiful mountain country valued these small dogs first, for their ability to catch rats, badgers, foxes, and otters, and secondly - for their cheerful, cheerful temper. Catching rodents in barns and pantries was a very important business, as the quality and quantity of food, depended on the life of the family in winter. The West Highland White Terrier has the same roots as the dandy dinmont terrier, Sky Terrier, Scotch Terrier, and Cairn Terriers - all of them are considered different branches of the same breed.

The earliest evidence of the appearance of the West Highland White Terrier dates back to the 16th century when James I of the Scrimjour clan gave one such dog to the King of France. Moreover, in those distant times, the breed did not have a pure white color of wool, and dogs could be of different shades. However, there is a legend that tells why all colors remained only white.

One day, Colonel Malcolm from the town of Poltalloch hunted and saw a fox hiding behind a pyramid of stones. He shot and killed the animal. However, coming closer the colonel saw that it was not a fox, and his dog - since then, the West Highland Terrier also acquired the word white (white) in the name of the breed.

Colonel Malcolm, being an enthusiastic breeder and an influential man, set about eradicating other breeds so that such cases could not happen in principle. After all, a snow-white dog can not be confused with a fox or a badger. The West Highland White Terrier was recognized by England Kennel Club under its current name in 1906. He was also formerly known as the Poltalloch Terrier and the Pink Terrier.

West Highland White Terrier dog history, breed information, description, personality, teaching, common diseases and care. personality The West Highland White Terrier is a very funny, fun, and cheerful breed. They are also called abbreviated and affectionate - dog "lead." These dogs are always happy to play, they like to fool around and have fun, and they do not need company. The animal may well find occupation on its own, if he will have a toy, a stick, a plastic bottle - in principle, it does not matter what. Even soft toys are quite suitable. Therefore, it is better to put soft toys in such a place that the dog did not get to them. Better yet, to highlight a few soft toys, and be prepared for the fact that it will tear them apart with a happy look - affects the hunting past. Breed lead loves walks and has a lot of energy, so you need to pay attention to active games. This little terrier can be very opinionated, despite its modest size being bold and having your own opinion regarding your wishes or commands. His playful temper can sometimes be snooty when it comes to other dogs on the walk or people he for some reason did not like. In order to make the character more harmonious, it requires proper education and early socialization, as well as most other breeds of dogs.

West Highland White Terrier dog history, breed information, description, personality, teaching, common diseases and care. teaching Training can be difficult because of the assertive, self-confident nature of the dog. Especially causes them stubbornness and desire to fight abuse, injustice, and boring, monotonous, long occupations, when the owner himself does not show flexibility and does not know how to find an approach to the animal. That is, you have to be a consistent and assertive owner who knows what he wants and knows how to achieve his, but at the same time maintain adequacy, not be nervous, and have patience. In addition, you can not do without a sense of humor with this breed. They need to train basic teams, focus on cancellation commands, and constantly monitor behavior to form the right character and thereby rid themselves of a lot of unnecessary problems. As we have said above, first of all, you will need to fight with self-confidence and sometimes even too brazen character. Classes do not need to do too long, alternate them with game tasks in which you can weave commands. care The West Highland White Terrier is a breed of dog with wavy hair that will require you to comb 3 times a week. And maybe haircuts. These animals need not only be calculated but also combed, disassembling the tangled areas with your fingers. Bathing a dog is required at least once a week, but it is better more often, as most likely it will have close contact with you and your children, and perhaps even sleep in the same bed. The claws are trimmed 3 times a month, the eyes are cleaned daily, and the ears - 3 times a week. Common diseases Breed lead has health problems, although, do not think that buying a dog, all these sores will fall like snow on your head - not at all. But some of them, indeed, can manifest themselves: craniomandibular osteopathy; Legg-Calve-Perthes disease (Legg Calve Of Perth); cataract; pulmonary fibrosis: This disease is also known as "lung disease to lead." This disease leads to scarring on the supporting tissue in the air sacs and connective tissue of the lungs. Further, the lungs lose elasticity, which prevents the normal flow of oxygen into the blood. Symptoms: may include loss of stamina, rapid breathing, crackling in the lungs, dry cough, shortness of breath, and shortness of breath. They manifest differently in different dogs, and many individuals do not show the disease for many years. Pulmonary fibrosis can lead to heart failure and other diseases. Prevention: there is no cure today, and the prognosis is always negative, so prevention is crucial. Preventing any respiratory infections, limiting exercise, and maintaining a healthy weight (or weight loss for overweight dogs) are key. The disease is sometimes treated, by keeping cool in the house and using bronchial extenders. Treatment is more successful if the disease is diagnosed at an early stage before the scars get out of control; knee dislocation - also known as compressed knee joints; hip dysplasia - this breed is not very common.

The West Highland White Terrier has the same roots as the dandy dinmont terrier, Sky Terrier, Scotch Terrier, and Cairn Terriers - all of them are considered different branches of the same breed.

Moreover, in those distant times, the breed did not have a pure white color of wool, and dogs could be of different shades. However, there is a legend that tells why all colors remained only white. One day, Colonel Malcolm from the town of Poltalloch hunted and saw a fox hiding behind a pyramid of stones. He shot and killed the animal. However, coming closer the colonel saw that it was not a fox, and his dog - since then, the West Highland Terrier also acquired the word white (white) in the name of the breed. Colonel Malcolm, being an enthusiastic breeder and an influential man, set about eradicating other breeds so that such cases could not happen in principle. After all, a snow-white dog can not be confused with a fox or a badger. The West Highland White Terrier was recognized by England Kennel Club under its current name in 1906. He was also formerly known as the Poltalloch Terrier and the Pink Terrier.
