If you want to see some Border Terrier photos, we can show you what one looks like here.
The Border Terrier is a British dog that has a short, rough coat. They stand at no more than 16″, and even that would be a pretty tall Border Terrier! The good news about these dogs is that they’re great for allergies. Due to having a short, rough coat, they don’t need much grooming. They also have a very low shedding level.
Friendly Dogs
They’re affectionate and even-tempered dogs. This makes them great around kids. If you want a dog who’s going to be patient with the chaos of having children, they’re a truly great choice. They’re also highly intelligent, which makes them trainable. They’re eager to please you, so they’ll pick up good habits fast as long as you reinforce them. You should be patient with potty training, however, as small dogs tend to be slower. This is because they have small bladders, and can’t hold it as long, especially as puppies!
It’s important to remember that these dogs, however, are hunters by nature. That means you should take care with smaller animals. Since they’re so small, you might be okay with cats if you make the introductions slowly and don’t rush anything, but leaving them unsupervised with smaller animals (like rodents) would be a bad idea. You’ll also have to get a handle on their prey drive by practicing good recall and “leave it”. This can take many months to become reliable, so be patient!
