Border Terrier

The Border Terrier is a small to medium-sized terrier known for its distinctive otter-like head and short, wiry coat. Originally bred to assist Foxhounds in hunting, they are energetic and aware, capable of navigating tight spaces to capture quarry. This breed is exceedingly affectionate and generally friendly, making them excellent family pets, especially when properly trained and socialized. They are highly enthusiastic about playtime and require consistent exercise and mental stimulation to thrive. While generally adaptable, they have a strong prey drive, which can lead to issues with smaller household pets. Regular grooming and socialization are essential.
