Bonnie's coat should have filled in by now, although it may take until she is about two years old. Clipping the coat often changes it and many Westies have thin soft coats not the thicker coarse fur of others. A less dense coat is easier to manage so I prefer that myself. Check her parents if you know them to see what their coats are like and a show breeder can give you more specifics as they have lots of experience with this. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Bonnie.
