STANDARD
OF
POINTS:
The
GENERAL
APPEARANCE
of
the
West
Highland
White
Terrier
is
that
of
a
small,
game,
hardy-looking
terrier,
possessed
with
no
small
amount
of
self-esteem,
with
a
"varminty"
appearance,
strongly
built,
deep
in
chest
and
back
ribs,
straight
back
and
powerful
quarters,
on
muscular
legs
and
exhibiting
in
a
marked
degree
a
great
combination
of
strength
and
activity.
COLOUR--White.
COAT--Very
important,
and
seldom
seen
to
perfection;
must
be
double-coated.
The
outer
coat
consists
of
hard
hair,
about
2-1/2
inches
long,
and
free
from
any
curl.
The
under
coat,
which
resembles
fur,
is
short,
soft,
and
close.
Open
coats
are
objectionable.
SIZE--Dogs
to
weigh
from
14
to
18
lb.,
and
bitches
from
12
to
16
lb.,
and
measure
from
8
to
12
inches
at
the
shoulder.
SKULL--Should
not
be
too
narrow,
being
in
proportion
to
his
powerful
jaw,
proportionately
long,
slightly
domed,
and
gradually
tapering
to
the
eyes,
between
which
there
should
be
a
slight
indentation
or
stop.
Eyebrows
heavy.
The
hair
on
the
skull
to
be
from
3/4
to
1
inch
long,
and
fairly
hard.
EYES--Widely
set
apart,
medium
in
size,
dark
hazel
in
colour,
slightly
sunk
in
the
head,
sharp
and
intelligent,
which,
looking
from
under
the
heavy
eyebrows,
give
a
piercing
look.
Full
eyes,
and
also
light-coloured
eyes,
are
very
objectionable.
MUZZLE--Should
be
powerful,
proportionate
in
length,
and
should
gradually
taper
towards
the
nose,
which
should
be
fairly
wide,
and
should
not
project
forward
beyond
the
upper
jaw.
