Dogs 101, Dog Breed Video : Animal Planet Look up the west highland white terrier.

They are ratters I guess it's like rottwielers are herding dogs, epople don't think or see them as the job they are meant to do because they get so used to them doing another job.

Ah, see I was never told why it was docked just that westies and cairns are ethe only dogs that can be pulled out by their tails, I guess they mean without docking tails or something.
