Border Terrier
Small
Great Britain
In 1880, the first written record of this breed appeared. It described the terriers of Northumberland and Westmorland. The Border Terrier was commonly known as both the Reedwater Terrier and the Coquetdale Terrier. These dogs were created to fill the need of dogs who could keep up with horses but were still small enough to go to ground after a fox.
The Border Terrier is a feisty little hunter and should be exercised on a daily basis. OK for an apartment as long as it gets a daily exercise and play time. Borders are good with children and canines (a male/female mix is better than 2 males), but should be socialized with any family cat.
