Terrier Dog Breed Information and List




Breeds of this group are feisty, energetic dogs whose sizes range from fairly small, as in the Norfolk, Cairn or West Highland White Terrier, to the grand Airedale Terrier. They are Bred to find, follow, dig out, and kill small game (often larger than themselves) without instruction from their humans. Most terriers have wiry coats which require special grooming in order to maintain a characteristic appearance, this special grooming known as stripping. Generally, Terrier breeds make engaging pets, but require owners with the determination to match their dogs' lively characters.
