West Highland White Terrier temperament
Westies are spirited and confident, usually fine with handling once they know the groomer, though their terrier stubbornness can show up during fussy areas like the face.
Grooming a West Highland White Terrier
Their harsh, wiry double coat is traditionally hand-stripped to keep its texture and white color, though most pet grooms clip it instead for a softer look that needs more frequent upkeep to stay bright.
How often does a West Highland White Terrier need grooming?
Every 4-6 weeks. Curly and doodle-type coats mat quickly if brushing lapses even a week or two.
Watch for matting
A West Highland White Terrier's coat mats easily if brushing lapses. Severe matting typically adds $44 or more and can mean a full shave-down for your dog's comfort and safety, since careful de-matting takes real table time. See the matting guide for what each severity level looks like.
