Dutchess is a West Highland White Terrier (also called Westies). Basically, they look like white Scotties, although they're groomed slightly differently from the Scottie.

We also have a 2-month old Australian Shepherd puppy named Belle who has suddenly decided her favorite thing to do is attempt to swallow my hand...
