Developed along the Scotland/England border, the Border Terrier is a functional working terrier. Their job was to catch and kill the fox and other vermin in the area that preyed on local sheep. The Border Terrier had to have legs long enough to fol-low the foxhounds and horses. They needed to be small enough to dig and go to ground after the fox. They had the temperament that let them get along with the hounds. They needed a coat that would protect them from the rough terrain and harsh weather. Their breed standard focuses on the features that support these functions. Unique to the breed is its characteristic “otter” head.
I’ve always admired the aristocratic bearing of the Weimaraner. It’s something that goes far deeper than just his iconic coloring; everything about him simply oozes a sense of nobility. This is a dog that will certainly turn heads.
