Terrier

A group of dog breeds that were originally designed to hunt and kill vermin. They can vary in size and looks but overall the terrier breeds have fairly similar personalities and characteristics.

They are all bold, feisty, high energy dogs – even the smallest of terriers thinks he’s the size of a Great Dane and is eager to prove it! They can make good companions and are friendly and outgoing but tend towards being snappy with other dogs, small children and strangers. Regular training and grooming are essential.

Popular dogs in this group include -

Miniature Schnauzer; West Highland White Terrier; Parson Russel Terrier (also known as Jack Russell Terrier); Bull Terrier; Staffordshire Bull Terrier; Norfolk Terrier.
