Border Terrier

The Border Terrier is a small yet spirited working terrier bred to hunt foxes on rugged terrain. Weighing 11-16 pounds, Borders has a wiry, weatherproof coat and compact build for agility. Originating from the England/Scotland border, these terriers are renowned for pluck and endurance. Borders are lively, affectionate companions that form close bonds with their owners. They thrive on brisk walks and interactive play. Their instinct to dig and chase requires supervision around small pets. With their alert nature and affectionate temperament, Border Terriers excel as active family companions with adequate exercise and training. Their rugged coat requires weekly brushing but no elaborate grooming.
