Size: Small. A well-proportioned breed with legs very close in height to the length of his back, the Border Terrier weighs between 11 1/2 and 15 1/2 pounds.
Activity level:
Above Average. This active breed requires lots of exercise to keep him happy. Daily walks and play time are a must. His instinct to work makes him a great fit for canine sports.
Grooming:
His dense, weather-resistant coat does require some care, and is best brushed and hand-stripped, not shaved.
Heritage: Developed in the border region between England and Scotland to aid Farmers and Shepherds by going to ground and driving foxes from dens.
