Why are so few people raising West Highland White Terriers?

Because the West Highland White Terrier is a white long-haired dog, it requires the owner to spend more time bathing and grooming the dog. Furthermore, the West Highland White Terrier has a very lively personality and is a dog that is not afraid of anything. When the owner takes it out, it always likes to provoke other dogs, and is not afraid of any dogs that are bigger than itself. In addition, the West Highland White Terrier is prone to tear stains. Coupled with the white hair, the tear stains look very obvious.
