Dougal – 3 year old male West Highland White Terrier
This is Dougal and he is a 3 year old male West Highland White Terrier, he has a mind of his own and if allowed to will do his own thing. He has learnt that sometimes snapping gets him his own way so it would probably be best not to go with children. He does bark, especially at postmen and he doesn’t like travelling in the car – those are his bad points. He is however utterly adorable and is only being given up as his owner has a heart complaint and can no longer care for him. Dougal is his original name, the only other is his pedigree name of Snuffmills Scotch. He was born on the 2nd July 2006.
He is a very lovable little dog although he is not a dog to be cuddled on your knee, he loves being stroked and given a good rub all over his body, especially the first thing in the morning. He was apparently taught not to climb the stairs and will not venture to do so. He loves a walk and he has at least 3 every day. He meets many dogs on his walks and he gets on very well with them. When out of the house he is a perfect dog and butter wouldn’t melt in his mouth, it is in the house when he is protecting his property that his temperament changes. We live on a river bank and he hates the seagulls flying over and the birds and the river ducks invading his property’.
He is very well mannered indeed, and a very fine and handsome Westie. He is very good on a lead, and clean in the house. He is a lovely and friendly dog, with lots to give – but he will need a terrier-savvy carer: his fosterer has been nipped 3 times by him – by no means deliberate bites, more of an accidental collision of hand and teeth when both were retrieving the same item at the same time. His ideal home would be with a bigger dog who he will look up to and respect, and a kind but firm human to keep him in his place.
