Embroider Terrier

History, origin & features

The Border Terrier breed is the result of several crosses involving British working Terriers such as the Bedlington Terrier, Lakeland Terrier and Dandie Dinmont Terrier. Its name is borrowed from its region of origin, the Borders, on the historic border between Scotland and England.

This dog was traditionally used for fox hunting, where it joined hounds such as the Foxhound. Border Terriers are robust, hardy and very active little dogs. They are easily recognized by their otter-like head. The dog's overall appearance gives an impression of lightness. Border Terriers are adorable family dogs. Originally a hunting or shepherding dog, it has the distinction of being quite small. As a family dog, he'll listen attentively to his master, whom he'll cherish for the rest of his life. He's gentle and attentive, sometimes stubborn and temperamental. He needs to be trained quickly. Coat: hard, dense and compact. Tight undercoat.
Color: red, pale orange-red, gray and tan or blue and tan.
Head: broad, reminiscent of an otter, with a short, strong muzzle, scissor-like jaws and ideally a black nose.
Ears: V-shaped, small, moderately thick and drooping forward against the cheek.
Eyes: Dark, with a lively expression.
Body: fairly long, tall, narrow. The loins are strong, the ribs well sprung towards the back of the thorax, but not curved.
Tail: moderate length, thick at the base, tapering to the tip. Set high, carried cheerfully without being curved over the back.
