What breed am I?

I'm going to have to say Pekingese, I heard something like that if my memory is thinking of the right breed.

BINGO!!! Very good- your turn...

Often called "stubborn," but I prefer independent and a fun challenge. Some owners complain about the hard coat. Hardy little dog, and not recommended to homes with young children. It is said that the color was chosen after a hunting accident.

Should be an easy guess.

hard coat meaning how- like grooming or texture???

Texture, though there are owners that will say "rolling the coat" is hard work.

Westie (west highland terrier)

Little info on what I meant by the color (I didn't say it in the best way):

How the Westie came to be selectively bred for his white coat is an interesting legend. The short-legged terriers of Scotland are now recognized as the Scottish, Skye, Cairn, Dandie Dinmont, and West Highland White Terriers. All undoubtedly descend from the same roots. All of these dogs were valued as intrepid hunters of small game. Originally, their coat colors ranged from black to red to cream or white. Colonel Edward Donald Malcolm, of Poltalloch, Argyllshire, Scotland, is generally credited with breeding the white dogs true, although he took none of the credit unto himself. He had kept a pack of light colored working terriers for hunting. As the legend goes, a reddish dog of his, emerging from cover, was mistakenly shot for a fox. Malcolm is said to have decided on the spot to breed only for white dogs that could be readily identified in the field.

Okay lets try another one- this should be easy.. ( I think..)..
Okay- originally a herding breed, to herd sheep or multipurpose herding, also had to have the ability to protect the flock from wolves, as well as protect the owner from intruders on the farm or even taking the flock into town to market. They had to be able to track loss sheep, and be hearty enough and healthy enough to perform different tasks around the farm.
