The Border Terrier is a first and foremost a plucky working dog, which – despite its diminutive size – is bred to be capable of following a horse. Longer in the leg than other terriers, which gives this breed its pace, agility and athleticism, the Border is equally happy and upbeat whether in the countryside or town. Of course, they love exploring outdoors – name a terrier who doesn’t – but do adapt well to urban life given plenty of exercise.
