Types of Cute White Puppies

There's something irresistible about a pure white puppy. Like most white animals, dogs with all white coats typically originate from cold countries with lots of snow. However, hunting breeds, such as the West Highland White Terrier, were bred to be pure white so that they would stand out against the green background. This aspect helped the farmer spot them from a distance. Some breeds come in a variety of colors, including white.
  1. Samoyed

    • The adult Samoyed coat has an abundance of fine fur.

      This breed originated in Siberia, where he was used for herding deer and livestock. The Samoyed has distinctive black lips, which contrast markedly against the whiteness of the fur. His coat is thick to protect him from the harsh Siberian winters. Groom your Samoyed regularly to prevent the coat from matting. The intelligent Samoyed is a popular pet, but the breed requires lots of stimulation to stave off boredom.

    Siberian Husky

    • This Husky pup is developing brown coloring.

      The Siberian Husky is one of the oldest breeds of domesticated dog. These dogs are one of the few breeds that are still commonly used for their original purpose, pulling sleds. The Siberian Husky puppy is typically pure white. As the dog grows, the coat may become darker in patches or completely change color. But some Siberian Huskies remain pure white for their entire life.

    West Highland White Terrier

    • West Highland Whiter Terrier exhibiting a pure coat.

      The "Westie" is a friendly and tenacious little dog. Originally bred for vermin control, the terrier's still retain a strong working instinct and will chase anything that moves. West Highland White Terrier puppies are pure white and remain so for their entire life. Some of these dogs may have tear staining under the eye as they age, but this is natural. The West Highland White Terrier is a popular pet in America and Europe. The West Highland White Terrier was the 36th most registered dog in 2009, according to the American Kennel Club.

    Parson Russell Terrier

    • A Parson Russell with an all white body and tan patches.

      The Parson Russell Terrier is often referred to as the Jack Russell. It originates from England and takes its name from Parson Jack Russell, an English clergyman. Parson Russell Terriers were originally bred for hunting foxes, but they are most common as a pet. This breed is white, with brown ears. Some examples of the breed have brown patches on their body and tail. They are energetic and tenacious. The coat ranges from short and coarse to medium length and wiry. Puppies in the same litter may have entirely different coat textures. Like the West Highland White Terrier, they retain a lot of hunting instinct and require plenty of exercise to keep them entertained.
