We have a 3 year old Westie male, who has been neutered. His mother only had one litter, and he was the first born. He has no skin problems or any other illnesses, other than a slightly deformed leg. This is purely cosmetic, and causes him no pain or discomfort. He is quite aggressive / shy to people he doesn't know, and is very food motivated. Extremely headstrong and stubborn, and VERY protective of those he see's as "pack leaders", i.e my mother.
Was just wondering, from his description, what you guys think.
He's the same height as an English Bull Terrier, and weighs 17 kilo's, the same as some Staffordshire Bull Terriers. His height and weight are almost double what they should be. He has no fat on him whatsoever, and is pure muscle. It may sound like he is fat, but you cannot even pinch skin on him. He is fed two meals a day, each weighed out, and isn't fed tit bits.
Every person who meets him thinks he is a crossbreed, but I assure you, he's a purebred Westie. He's just huge. The other Westie we have is the typical Westie size, very small. Our little one was bred to be small in size, and his Mother had multiple litters.
What the biggest Westie you guys have ever heard of?
Let me know if ours is the biggest you've heard of, I'm sure it must be some kind of World Record!
