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.

Two things: Americans never shake this weird fascination with headline tragedies. The Titanic…although it hit that iceberg 100+ years ago, we never stop revisiting that sad story. The other thing is that dog people, although not immune to that other obsession, reflexively seek out the dog element of the story. It’s true. I bet a lot of us can name every single dog–never mind the specific breeds–that went down on April 15, 1912.
The AKC recently announced that the event service fee for conformation events will increase from $3.00 per entry to $4.50 beginning October 1, 2025–a 50% increase. Along with the recording fee of $.50 per entry, clubs will now pay $5.00 to AKC for every dog entered at their shows. Backlash from clubs and exhibitors was swift and furious.
The 149th Westminster Kennel Club dog show is history; and to say it was a success would be a massive understatement if crowd sentiment is a barometer.
