Wife and I want to get a little dog. We’re thinking about either a Yorkshire, a West Highland, or Scottish Terrier. They are all cute. Are they all about the same in disposition, etc.?
Yorkies tend to be rather yappy in the way many small dogs are. Westies are larger. They are smart, brave, and obedient. And they don’t shed to the extent that other dogs do. I can’t think of a nicer dog to have.
I’ve been a dog groomer for 30 years. I’ve never met a Yorkie that wasn’t in touch with it’s inner Pit Bull. The dogs you name are all terriers. They are all very tenacious. Westies are the sweetest of the bunch, with Scotties a close second. That being said I will at some point own a Yorkie. There are no bad dogs, just some are more suited to certain people than others.
