Border Terrier

Originally bred to assist in foxhunts, Border Terriers would help drive the foxes out of their hiding places and out in the open. The Border Terrier is a bold hunting dog and, as such, likes to dig and hunt. This lively, sturdy, and affectionate breed is eager to please making training an enjoyable task between a dog and owner. In fact, Borders have earned more AKC Earthdog titles than any other terrier. These trials showcase their instinctual traits, intelligence, and obedience both in and out of the ring. Their even temperament makes them well-suited as therapy and service dogs for people of all ages.
