Both Westies and Cairns have that typical happy-looking “smile” on their face, just like the one the Westie has below… :D

I found a wonderful article to help you decide if you want to adopt a The West Highland White Terrier of your own, or for some more information on your Westies! I hope you find it information and enjoyable to read!
