One of the oldest kinds of terriers in Great Britain, the Border Terrier was originally bred along the English-Scottish border to follow horses on day-long fox hunts. Their job was to drive the foxes from their dens and kill them. The bold little Border Terrier has also been used to hunt marten, otter and the fierce badger. The Border Terrier is a tireless, hard worker for its size, and is full of courage.
