About the Border Terrier

The Border Terrier is a tough, no-nonsense working terrier that originated in the rugged border country between England and Scotland. Developed in the 18th century to accompany foxhound packs, the Border Terrier needed to be small enough to follow a fox into its den yet leggy enough to keep up with horses and hounds over rough terrain. The result is a compact, hardy little dog with remarkable stamina and an irrepressible spirit.
