About the Weshi
The Weshi is a hybrid dog that is made up of a combination of two different purebreeds. It's a cross between the Shih Tzu and the West Highland White Terrier. We've found the best method for understanding the characteristics of the Weshi is to read both of its ancestors descriptions taking note of their temperaments, size and general look.
