Coat
Overcoat is wiry, close and somewhat
broken. The undercoat is short and dense.
Origin
Originates from the area near
the border between England and Scotland. Was originally bred as a farm
dog and used to drive foxes from their den so that they would be killed
and not harm the farm animals. Also used to for hunting to flush out small
animals.
Description
This intelligent, happy, active
breed makes an excellent family pet. They are great with children and
other dogs. They are not recommended for other small family pets as they
may see them as prey. They are somewhat active and require plenty of exercise
and play time. They tend to dig, so reinforcements around a fenced in
yard are suggested. They make a great hunting companion as well. They
can get into small places and flush out animals. The Border Terrier is
a fearless dog and might go after larger prey much larger than itself.
They are easy to train and love to please their master.
