Weston

Westons, like many designer dog breeds, are relatively new pups on the block, leading them to not have much in the way of a storied history. But many of their personality traits and mannerisms can be gleaned from looking into the well known and well documented pasts of their Westie and Cotie parents. The West Highland White Terrier originates from 17th century Scotland, where they were bred to act as excellent vermin catchers and aid in the hunting of badgers and foxes. Westons, due to their non-aggressive nature, aren't well regarded for their hunting prowess, despite the Westie blood that courses through their veins, however the Weston did retain the same level of intelligence that aided their West Highland ancestors in their hunts. The behavior and demeanor of the Weston more closely resembles that of their Coton de Tulear forefathers; a similarly intelligent breed that also exhibits more non-aggressive tendencies. The Cotie's history is many leagues more mysterious and ambiguous than the West Highland White Terrier's, as the Coton  de Tulear was found on the island of Madagascar many centuries ago. In many respects, it's still a wonder how the Cotie ended up on the island, as their physical traits and temperaments were a dead give away that the Cotie was not a native of the African island. Coton de Tulears became well regarded for their gentle and easy going nature, once they were brought inland, and they've since passed these traits onto their Weston offspring over the course of the last few decades. Weston's are comparatively less well known and popular than either of their parents, but the Weston is an emergent hybrid with tons of energy and a big heart.
