Do Westies bark a lot?

Westie - FAQ
Yvonne says: It depends on the dog. In my experience, the senior female Westie in a group will need to alert the family to any strangers. My male is much more willing to just watch strangers go by the yard. However, it is very possible to teach your Westie to give only one bark and then be quiet. The trick, I think, is to never let the dog keep on barking. Bring him or her into the house, and even put them into the crate until he or she quiets.
