Its a westie( west highland terrier). Westies are spunky, active, intelligent dogs. They enjoy hanging out by the fire on a cold winter’s night, but would be just as happy to patrol the back yard’s perimeter in the damp and cold. Most texts on the Westie will say they are not lap dogs and while you will find a few who prefer to be with you on the couch, most will just as soon give you a smooch, endure a hug and take off to see who might be passing by out front. Like all companion dogs they will benefit from training classes, especially those that train handler and dog to work together. While some trainers will frown at the thought of training a Westie for competition, Westies enjoy the spirit of competition; they just may want to do it their way sometimes. On the negative side, they can be diggers and barkers and generally do better in a home with well-trained children over the age of 10 years. They play hard and can be too rough with smaller dogs. They are also very prey driven, so skateboarders, cyclists, running children and cats, rabbits, hamsters, and other small pets are not safe in their presence.
Here is this site that may help you decide if a westie is right for you.

You're link doesn't work but I went to Cesar's website. It's a West Highland White Terrier. They are nice dogs but make sure you do your research before purchasing any pet! Don't go for looks alone.

This little guy is a West Highland White Terrier. Terrific little dogs, with true terrier personalities, so be sure that this is what you're looking for BEFORE rushing out to buy one. Do your research. These guys will not be happy sitting on your lap watching TV. They need a firm hand, exercise and activities to challenge their minds, active and tough, but are loyal, low-shedding, easy keepers. Please be sure to find a reputable breeder .... use akc.org and talk to several before purchasing.
