Reserved and protective with
strangers, dominant with other dogs, predatory toward small animals such as
cats and rabbits, the Weimaraner needs an owner who can provide leadership,
socialization, and training beyond the beginner level. |

than some terriers, yet still full of energy and drive. |

The Westie is everything a terrier was
designed to be. Sturdy, spunky, and bold, he needs his daily walks and
interactive play sessions. Yet he is easier to handle and friendlier than
some other terriers. He can adapt to any home in which he can be a full
participant and busybody. |
