Border Terrier
This dog is independent and is generally good with other dogs and cats and children. It tends to dig and bark.
Breed Overview
These cute, scruffy dogs are energetic and easygoing and make great family pets. The smallest of the long-legged terriers, this dog was bred on the border between Scotland and England for the purpose of chasing foxes. This curious terrier is calm and friendly around the house but is also curious and independent and loves to dig. Because they require moderate exercise such as a daily walk or play session, they can be a good apartment dog. Grooming the terrier requires weekly brushing and occasional grooming and they shed very little.
