Most West Highland White Terriers reach their adult weight by around 10 months (44 weeks).
As a small-sized breed, your West Highland White Terrier reaches adult size by 10-12 months. Smaller breeds tend to reach full size faster than larger breeds.
Individual dogs may reach full size slightly earlier or later. Spayed or neutered puppies may also have slightly different growth timelines. Regular vet checkups are the best way to track your West Highland White Terrier's progress.
