Puberty in West Highland White Terriers can vary, but typically starts around 6-8 months of age for both males and females.
However, it's important to consult with a veterinarian for accurate information about your specific dog's development. They can assess your dog's individual needs and provide you with the best advice.
Here are some things to consider when talking to your vet:
* Signs of puberty: These can include changes in behavior, such as increased aggression, marking territory, or increased vocalization. Physical changes like swelling of the vulva or testicles can also occur.
* Spaying or neutering: Your vet can discuss the benefits and risks of spaying or neutering, which can impact puberty and overall health.
Remember, seeking professional advice from a veterinarian is crucial for your dog's well-being.
