There is consensus to not use the image as it does not add noteworthy value to the article. TLSuda (

Since this article is assessed as Good Article, we are more restictive with pictures we add. Should this photograph be added to article or not?

I would say not to include it in the WHWT article; I do appreciate
Kim Traynor went to a lot of work to get permission to use the image and I see it has now been added to another couple of articles where I feel it's inclusion is more appropriate, so hopefully that's an agreeable compromise?

Yes, I can see the sense of that. I suppose the only element that's lost by its disappearance from the original page is that it's a photo taken in Scotland showing a Scottish breed of dog. I was with a visiting American at the time I took it and thought it a highly appropriate image for showing the type of dog one would be likely to encounter here. It was only later that it dawned on me how unusual it was to come across three siblings with the three generations of dog. That's when I resolved to find them. It became a bit of a personal quest (and a challenge: on a subsequent visit village residents with Westies told me that there were no other Westies in the village - the girls might have only been visiting the village on that particular day - thankfully, both turned out to be wrong).

Agree with not adding picture to this particular article. It is nice that it has hopefully found a home in other articles. It is a worthy image to have in Commons. Thanks for your effort and for contributing it.

Omit image. The article has plenty of photos, sans owners. This one is 3 ladies showing off their 3 pets. Not noteworthy. –

A subset of this dog can be dominating to owners who lack authority. I personally have seen women who tend to be kinder and non-forceful with such dogs to have a constant battle. Once authority is conveyed, one can have a loving and obedient friend for life.
