West Highland Terrier -- good dog for a cat person?
My fiancee is a dog person and I am a cat person. She is very
allergic to cats and when we get married I have agreed we shall get a dog. She wants a West Highland Terrier. My question is whether this is a good dog for someone who is used to having only cats around the house? I know that terriers are yappy but can they be trained well otherwise...ie, not to tear stuff apart, quickly housetrained, etcetera? I want my fiancee to be happy and I do like dogs generally but I'm wondering if a terrier might be too yappy for my tastes, especially for a first dog. She is not dead set on the Westy but I think she does prefer a scruffy looking little dog like a terrier of some description. Is there another breed that might be quieter and more easy-going or is the Westy a good choice? Thank you for your suggestions. Andy. |
