Border Terrier Dog Breeds



by Queenie1

The Border Terrier was used in many years ago to hunt foxes and badgers. They have a lot of spunk, stamina and determination.

The Border Terrier stands 9"-11"at the shoulder and weighs 11-15 lbs. They have a compact and sturdy body. The Border Terrier has longer legs so he can run. Their fur is short, coarse and wiry so they shed little.

The Border Terrier is a very active, athletic dog breed with a strong drive. They are a very affectionate breed and like to please their owners. The Border Terrier needs to socialize properly and they need consistent, patient training. This dog has a high prey drive towards small animals. If you are patient with him he will be a great companion for you.

The Border Terrier will live well in an apartment if you make sure he gets lots of exercise. The Breed is a high-energy, playful dog so his owner needs to very active too. If left alone in the yard for long periods of time he will dig. This dog loves to play with children but watch the young children with him.
