Border Terriers are small and energetic dogs that were bred in England to hunt rodents. They have a compact build, short muzzle and erect ears.
The coat of Border Terriers is short and smooth, usually black or brown. They are very active and love to play, so they need regular exercise and mental stimulation.
Border Terriers are very friendly and affectionate towards their owners, but can be aggressive towards other animals. They are also prone to barking and can be noisy, especially if they are in unfamiliar surroundings.
Despite their small size, Border Terriers have a strong hunting instinct and can be great companions for people who enjoy hunting or other outdoor activities.
