Mega the Westipoo at 9 months old—"Mother was a 17-lb. West Highland Terrier; father was a 7-pound Toy Poodle. She weighs in at 13 pounds."
The Westiepoo is not a purebred dog. It is a cross between the Westie and the Poodle. The best way to determine the temperament of a mixed breed is to look up all breeds in the cross and know you can get any combination of any of the characteristics found in either breed. Not all of these designer hybrid dogs being bred are 50% purebred to 50% purebred. It is very common for breeders to breed multi-generation crosses.
"This is Louie. He is a West Highland White Terrier crossed with a Miniature Poodle. He is the sweetest most lovable puppy in the whole world :)"

Dollie the Westiepoo at 9 months old—"She is very sweet and smart. Her mother was a West Highland Terrier and her father was a Toy Poodle. She loves, loves, loves people, especially kids!!!"
"Our puppy's name is Charlie and he is 3 months old in this picture. He is a lap dog that follows me around waiting for his chance to be in my arms. He surely does love his mom. He is VERY smart. And always wants to please me. He is great with my 4-year-old as well as my fiancé that is in a wheelchair. He is 50% West Highland Terrier and 50% Miniature Poodle."
"Madeleine is a 2.5-year-old West Highland Terrier / Poodle mix. She was purchased at 5 months old and has been the best dog I've ever had. She can be playful and hyper, but most of the time she is lazy and wants to just lie and cuddle with me. =) She was easily trained and I love the fact that she doesn't shed. She's solid black with a small white patch on her chest. She likes long walks and nibbling anything that happens to fall on the kitchen floor!"
"Deogi is a West Highland Terrier / parti Poodle mix. We bought him through an ad in our local paper. Pretty darn smart, but doesn't much like being held. So much for my lap dog. We have 19 grandchildren, so it was very important that whatever we got, it had to be good with them. He has both been great with all from 20 years right down to newborns."
