I am not sure, but what a freakin cute dog.
If it is a terrier, they are barkers.

No, Westies are born with erect triangular ear. Your little guy looks more like a shepard/Great Pyrenees Why don’t u take him to the vet and see what they say?

No he is not guaranteed. He looks like some sort of white shepherd mix or an eskimo lab mix. Def not a westie.

My guess is ‘no’. This is what a West Highland White Terrier pup looks like:http://www.pupcity.com/images/adpics/072…
Whatever breed(s) your puppy is, it looks like he’s a bit too young to be away from mom & litter mates, though.

i personally would not worry about it, it’s a cute puppy and should be a great dog, the nose looks spotted red, but that could be the flash, westies will have a all black nose, i have a 8 yr old westie and all the puppies i’ve seen and been around, the ear’s look different from yours, westies ear’s will stand up but the tips flop over until the muscle are strong enough to be held up on there on, but just love and care for him or her and you should be a happy dog owner

Where did you get the puppy from? Did you meet its parents? Did it come with pedigree papers (I am assuming it didn’t)? Did you see any of the other pups in the litter?
The only way to PROVE your dog is a purebred Westie is to have its pedigree papers – if the parents weren’t purebred with papers your puppy can’t have any.
We can look at a photo and try to guess, but nothing can give you a definitive answer.
ETA: Looking at those picture its hard to tell as the puppy is still so young. It will be easier to tell as it matures. How old is it? It looks very young.

I would be really surprised if your puppy WAS a West Highland Terrier — looks more like a golden retriever, yellow lab, or if I were to guess on a smaller breed perhaps a Bichon Frese?
In any case, enjoy your new, adorable best friend !!
