Breed overview
Border Terrier
A.K.A.: Coquetdale Terrier, Reedwater Terrier, Roxburghshire Terrier, Border, Borders, BW.
Overview:
The Border Terrier, originating from the Anglo-Scottish border region, was bred to work alongside huntsmen, bolting foxes and other vermin. This small, hardy terrier possesses a distinctive "otter-like" head, a wiry, dense coat that provides excellent weather protection, and a lean, muscular build. Typically weighing between 11-15 pounds, they are incredibly agile and possess surprising stamina. Known for their alert and affectionate temperament, Border Terriers are generally good-natured and can be wonderful family pets, often getting along well with children and other animals when properly socialized. While adaptable, their natural inclination to dig and chase means secure fencing is essential. They can thrive in apartments if given sufficient daily exercise and mental stimulation. Health-wise, they are generally robust, but like many breeds, can be prone to certain conditions such as Canine Epileptoid Cramping Syndrome (CECS) and luxating patellas, making responsible breeding practices crucial.
