Episode West Highland White Terrier | Can’t Sleep? Meet Scotland’s Tiny Terrier

0:00 32:19

The West Highland White Terrier was bred to be small, sturdy, and remarkably determined.

In this episode, you’ll learn about the Scottish origins of the Westie, how the breed developed from working terriers used to hunt vermin, and why its distinctive white coat became such an important feature. Along the way, you’ll hear about the breed’s appearance, temperament, history, and the traits that helped turn a tenacious little working dog into a popular companion. Apparently, being cute and stubborn is a perfectly viable career path.

It’s steady and consistent, with no whispering and no sudden changes, just enough to give your mind something to follow as you wind down. Happy sleeping!
