Border Terrier

The Border Terrier is a people-friendly breed who is mellower than the other terrier types. His size and portability make him an ideal companion for those with moderately active lifestyles, plus he will happily act as your beloved family’s watch dog! An added bonus – The Border Terrier has a reputation of being very trainable too.

The Border Terrier is a perfect companion for an active family with one of the most robust and resilient purebreds around. It’s quite astonishing that he isn’t more popular, as known to be healthier than other breeds of terriers, less prone to hunting desires, and easily adaptable when it comes to exercising. Plus, they possess lovely personalities making them excellent candidates for great pets! Due to their companionable nature, Border Terriers require regular attention and should not be left alone for extended periods. Additionally, they are known to have an instinctual tendency towards chasing small animals like cats and guinea pigs.

Boasting a rough coat and long legs, the agile Border Terrier was bred to join hunting packs in Scotland and England for searching out foxes or other small creatures. These pooches have narrow bodies that are perfect for zooming through fields, as well as diving into underground burrows and driving critters from their dens.

Border Terriers are small dogs, usually weighing 15 pounds or less. They are very energetic and make good companions for children who like to play roughly. They are also good for people who like to do active things because they can keep up with them. Border Terriers also compete in agility courses and shows.

Want an amazing companion? Make sure he has the chance to stretch his legs and experience the sights, smells, walks, and playtime a couple of times each day – preferably behind a fence or when on leash since they are incredibly speedy chasing small animals like squirrels and local cats. Border Terriers adore people but can be very loud if left unattended or cause huge messes too – so they should live inside as part of your family.
