 The Border Terrier Dog
 The Border Terrier dog, or BT as it is affectionately called, is small spunky terrier with a coarse, wiry double coat. He has dark lively eyes, a short muzzle, black nose and small ears. A Border Terrier is alert, active and agile, and because it was bred to hunt, it is capable of squeezing through narrow apertures and rapidly traversing any kind of terrain. The characteristic "otter" head with its keen eye, combined with a body poise which is "at the alert," gives a look of fearless and implacable determination characteristic of the breed
 
 Border Terrier Skills
 The Border Terrier is one of several working terrier breeds to emerge along the borders of England and Scotland over centuries ago. This alert and plucky was developed especially to catch the foxes that caused so much damage

to farmers' chickens and livestock. This is also adaptable to city life, provided he gets plenty of exercise. He's most interested in being with his owner, and is a good-natured and loving companion.
 
 Border Terrier Personality
 A Border Terrier is typically good-tempered, affectionate and easily trained. It is a very sociable breed, and can make an excellent companion for a child. However, their high energy level and rather rough play require constant supervision.
 
 Border Terrier Exercise Needs
 Border Terriers are active s with a high energy level. Plenty of play and exercise is a necessity for Border Terriers dog. A long walk or vigorous play within the yard for 20-30 minutes a day will keep them happy and fit. Borders also enjoy various activities such as fly ball, agility, earth tests, tracking and obedience classes.
 
 Border Terrier Dog Living Conditions
 Borders are not guard dogs but superb and affectionate working/companion dogs who have need to share the living quarters and lives of their families. They do well in big cities, in small towns, or in the country. A fenced-in yard is ideal as its home, although a kennel run will also contain the Border Terrier dog. Tying him out in the yard is not recommended, because it often leads to constant barking.
 
 Border Terrier Dog Grooming Requirements
 The Border Terrier coats require some above-average maintenance to keep the double coats properly groomed. They are usually hand stripped twice a year, and should be brushed weekly. Clipping is not a recommended method of grooming since it does not remove the dead hair, but merely shortens it, softening the texture, fading the color, and encouraging noticeable shedding.
 
 Border Terrier Dog Health Issues
 As a breed, Border Terrier breeds are generally healthy. Conscientious breeders screen for hip dysplasia and eye problems. Spaying or neutering also makes them less prone to certain afflictions associated with their sexuality later in life; for example, mammary tumors or prostate disease.
