WHAT THIS DOG NEEDS
The Border Terrier is a small, hardy working terrier from the rugged border country between England and Scotland. Bred to hunt foxes and vermin alongside foxhounds, this breed combines the tenacity of a terrier with a surprisingly affectionate and adaptable nature. For prospective owners, understanding the Border Terrier's dual character—energetic hunter by day, calm companion by night—is essential to deciding if this breed fits your lifestyle.
