Terrier breeds are typically small, very active, wiry, and fearless dogs.
Most of them were developed in England and Ireland. Originally the Terriers were bred to
hunt rats and other vermin, rabbits and foxes, but today's terrier breeds are mostly bred
and kept as companion dogs. Terriers appearance range from light bodied, smooth coated dogs
to the quite large ones, such as the Airdale Terrier.
Even though most terriers are quite small,
most of them have a big dogs mind and often think that they are bigger then what meets the eye.
Because of this, it is important that you know how to handle and treat your dog. Get more terrier
