Is my Westie a born hunter?
According to all sources, West Highland Terriers are born hunters, bred for killing rats and vermin:
Originally bred to hunt vermin, they will make it their job to keep your garden free of birds and squirrels! Terrier Dogs
But recently I discovered mice had been in our ‘junk’ cupboard under the stairs. Horrified, I emptied the cupboard out but I couldn’t see where the mice were getting in. So I called in the help of my ‘born hunter’ Westie, Monty.
I fully expected him to go mad sniffing around, on the scent of vermin, and start scratching and digging in the mouse-iest corner.
Nothing!
He went into the cupboard, then just looked up at me as if to say ‘Yes? And? So?’. Born hunter my ****!
Is your Westie a born hunter? I know mine isn’t!
