Border Terrier Puppies

The Border Terrier is a small to medium-sized breed known for its playful spirit and affectionate nature, making it a wonderful addition to any family. Originating from the border regions between England and Scotland, this spirited breed was originally developed for hunting small game, such as foxes and badgers. Despite its history, the Border Terrier is much more suited to cozy family living today, and its friendly demeanor shines through as it interacts with young children and other pets, including dogs and moderately with cats.

The name of this dog breed was changed to border terrier in the 1800s. They were originally bred in the border country between England and Scotland to control vermin. It was however realized much later that they could bolt foxes and also chase down horses. They were recognized by the Kennel Club of the UK in 1920 while the American Kennel Club followed suit in 1930.

A border terrier is what you would call a home dog. It has an incredible will to please and this means they are easy to train too. They are very affectionate and would love to cuddle up with you on the sofa after a stressful day. 

They enjoy chasing and hunting. They are very intelligent and friendly and enjoy the company of other dogs. They will, however, chase down every other creature they come across. They are of good behavior but will require training.

A border terrier is the example of an apartment dog. If you are likely to be away most of the day, you should get a border terrier. Just be sure to give him adequate time and attention when you return. They are also suitable playmates for children as they thrive on companionship. 

They need an environment that affords them enough playtime and adequate social exposure. Be sure to socialize them from when they are puppies so they get used to having people around. You would need to terrier proof your home because they seem to bite on anything that can be eaten. 

This dog breed is indeed high energy and will require a moderate level of exercise daily. It does not have to be mind-bugging or special features. A 30-minute walk or playtime in the backyard should do the trick. 

They just need to be kept active and played with so they do not become lonely. You could just let them roam or run around in a fenced yard. This dog breed needs exercise from a very young age and this should not be ignored. Give them a lot of toys they can nibble on so they don’t go thrashing the house. 

Grooming for a border terrier is no more than the regular. Their coats need to be brushed 2 to 3 times a week and they should be given regular baths. They do not need daily baths and should keep clean for the most part unless they get into something really dirty. 

You should check their ears regularly so you could clean them and avoid buildup. They shed and this is no surprise so you should wash their bedding regularly and vacuum the house to get rid of their fur. They are overall an easy breed to groom.
