A domestic dog that originated in the UK. It is a small breed, standing 25-28cm tall and weighing about 9kg. It originated in western Scotland, and is one of the Highland terriers that descend from a common ancestor with the Scotch terrier, Cairn terrier, and Dandie Dinmont terrier. The undercoat is soft and dense, while the topcoat is hard and bristly, and the coat is solid white, as the breed name suggests. In the past, there was a superstition that white dogs were abhorrent, and so when white dogs were born, they were culled, but it is said that a small number of enthusiasts bred them in secret and passed them down.
