More information about this dog
Archie is a mature West Highland Terrier male and full of Character. He’s a cheeky chappy who is very loving & although independent, enjoys a cuddle & loves being around people.
Pet Acting/Modelling Ability
This handsome chap can take direction well even from strangers and he can work from a distance with no issues. He is a well trained & obedient boy knowing lots of commands and he is very easy to train with new commands & skills given a short time frame. This is a Westie that is very willing & eager to please as long as there’s food as an incentive he will give anything a go. He is good with people of all ages including children but better working alone & cannot work with other intact dogs as he is still a full male. But the majority of the time he is great with all.
