Westillon Activity Requirements

Westies may be small, but they pack a big personality. They are a playful, sociable, and energetic breed, and they need regular, supervised play time in order to be happy. A Westie’s small size makes them ideal for apartment living, but they will need some outside time to run around and burn off some energy. They will need a daily walk or good play session in order to stay happy and healthy.
