Border Terrier

Originally bred to assist foxhounds in hunts, the Border Terrier is a tough, no-nonsense working dog with a characteristic 'otter head'. They are known for their wiry, weather-resistant coat and a more social, even-tempered nature compared to many other terrier breeds. Their plucky personality and compact size make them adaptable companions for active families who enjoy outdoor adventures.
