Introduction

A small powerhouse, the Border Terrier sports a wiry coat and keen expression. Originating from the borderlands of England and Scotland, this breed exhibits a friendly temperament and high energy level, requiring regular exercise. Adaptable and affectionate, they make vigilant, yet sociable family pets. Their modest size and tenacious spirit have historically been prized for fox hunting.
