Border Terrier fun facts

Fun Facts:

Hill foxes could easily destroy farm stock, so farmers and shepherds needed a powerful dog with legs long enough to follow a horse but short enough to follow foxes underground. The Border Terrier was their scrappy answer to their fox predator woes.

The Border Terrier is the only terrier that has a loose and moveable hide, or skin, which was to protect the dogs during foxhunting and allow him to wiggle in and out of tight tunnels.

The Border Terrier is often regarded as one of the oldest breeds of terrier in Britain.
