Westie Maltese Mix - Stella

Our Maltese Westie mix Stub, as she is affectionately called, came to us via the Humane Society at 2 years old. She bloomed from a scraggly looking thing that was scared of everything to a lively dog who is thankfully pretty well-behaved. While we can't be sure of her parentage, she has a Westie coat with a smaller head, semi-prick ears and a curly tail, and weighs in at 12 lbs.
Because of the Westie coat, I started hand-stripping her. It's resulted in a pretty stain-resistant coat so that dirt just brushes out.
I'm sure someone in here can give tips on taking pictures of a white dog, since many of our shots end up blurry.
She's not a big fan of dogs that are much larger, but will mercilessly pester any smaller dogs at the park.
Our Maltese Westie is remarkably easy to train compared to the cats, and the kids at the local park get a kick out of our makeshift agility practice on the playground.
