About the Border Terrier

Solidly built, well-balanced and full of energy, Border Terriers are fearless. This breed has all the behavioral traits of a working dog.

Prior to being recognized by The Kennel Club, Border Terriers often had to feed themselves, and only those that were natural hunters found themselves enough food. To a large extent, this explains the breed's character.
