In 1700, the Isle of Skye and the Highlands of Scotland has lots of small terriers. Scottish breeds were separated into two: the Skye terrier and Dandi Dinmont terrier.
The Dandi Dinmont was classified as a race apart. The Skyes included the Scotties, Cairns and the lair of the highlands of western white Westies.
It was also noted that these passages are hybrids between crossed Cairns, Scottish, and Dandies terriers. Presumably, the hybrid would really be loyal and its hunting instincts could not be minimized. In fact, many Scottish Terriers property rights that were very similar to the Westies of today.
Another extraordinary story of a Westie that stopped a mother always yelling at his daughter. When the mother yelled at her teenage daughter, the Westie would attack the mother. The attack dog has deteriorated in the years leading up to the mother of a total inability to criticize young people.
It turned out that the girl was actually rewarding the dog for their protection by calming and soothing for him after each threat "to his mother. Many people believe that the girl was able to help her mother change her ways when in fact helps to reward the dog's behavior.

Source / History: As already mentioned, they share the same lineage of Cairns and Scotties (from Skye terriers), and even with the Dandys. This trio has been developed on the island of Skye, which was one of the Highlands of Scotland. It was noted that white cubs were chosen from wire covered in Cairns, Scottish and dandy to produce varieties that were known as Poltalloch terriers.
Some elements of history shows that the reputation of the Westies "to be the favorite companion dog owners. 'The record of history says that around 1620, Jacques 1 King of England requested some small dogs, white Argyleshire Scotland. Coronel Malcolm, who was regarded as the originator of Poltalloch terriers, that are very similar to Westies of today, accidentally shot his terrier (dark). So, has vowed to have white terrier.

In mid-1900, farmers in Cairns in Argyll, Scotland selected white puppies actions and a little white cross of Cairns. However, in 1917, the American Kennel Club ruled that Cairns could be included if they have the tradition of Westies.
