Maltese Westie Mix? Charlotte

(Highland, MI)

We received our possible Maltese Westie mix dog Charlotte from a friend, she was being neglected and we took her in. We have had her for about 3 years now. We still do not know what breed she is but she looks like a Westie and possibly a Maltese. I wanted to send a picture and see if anyone knows what she may be.

The only thing is that she is not friendly to strangers, she barks and will run after people, she doesn't bite but she has bit a friend on the butt. She is a herder as well. She freaks out when you go into the water but we recently got her to like the water and now she's a water dog. She's very protective of me, the owner, and very affectionate to me and people she loves!!!

In addition, we've groomed her, she usually has long hair but I get it cut short for the Summer.

Can anyone help and tell us if she really is a Maltese Westie mix (Highland Maltie)????

Thanks
