About the Border Terrier
The Border Terrier is a tough, no-nonsense working terrier with a charming personality. Small but sturdy, they were bred to be small enough to follow a fox underground yet have enough leg to keep up with horses. Border Terriers are affectionate, good-tempered, and make wonderful family pets. Their wiry coat is low-maintenance and hypoallergenic.
