Types of Terrier Dogs

Border Terrier | Cairn Terrier | Wheaten Terrier

Terrier

Whatever your taste in dogs is, you are sure to find terrier dogs amongst one of the most interesting breeds. Terriers are very energetic dogs, need very little grooming and make wonderful companions.

They were originally bred for hunting and killing vermin but terrier dogs posses a wide range of characteristics that you might find attractive. They are not as cuddlesome as toy dogs (while there are some terrier dogs in the toy and companion dog catagories) and they may not seem as intelligent as some other breeds but against this they posses various traits that only they can offer.

Lets look at some of the terrier dog types that you might find interesting:

Soft Coated Wheaten Terriers

Less aggressive but decidedly not fainthearted. This best identifies Soft Coated Wheaten Terriers. They are definitely alert and very spirited, but when the call for steadiness arrives, they are certain to display an air of self-assurance and a steadfast temperament.

The Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier is quite an intelligent dog which makes it very responsive to obedience training.

Parson Russell Terriers

The Parson Russell, or Jack Russell Terrier is a breed that displays daring, ingenuity, affection and has an exuberant temperament. While many may find this a playful companion, it is still not advisable for everyone to take a Parson Russell home. In point of fact, formal obedience training is a must for owners of this terrier dog, since this breed is more likely to show mischievousness and too much playfulness, so it makes this a very independent dog. For people with active lifestyles and those who can endure an explorative tendency, this terrier is the best for you.

Norwich Terriers

The Norwich Terrier, on the other hand, is a sort of dog that resulted from breeding small Terriers with other smaller breeds, possibly yorkshire terriers. Maintenance of Norwich Terrier is minimal and they are happy with a humble living accommodation. They possess an active disposition though and can be affectionate and courageous. In addition, they are also recognised as displaying stocky and happy personalities which make them ideal companions.

Norfolk Terriers

Much like the Norwich Terriers, Norfolk Terriers are also well-spirited, fearless, captivating and forever ready for action. Although both may have some similar physical features, Norfolks can still be differentiated by the folds in their ears.

Kerry Blue Terriers

Fundamentally workman-like dogs, Kerry Blue Terrier dogs make first-class watchdogs and work well in farm settings. This dog got its name from its blue-shade coat color which is originally black during puppyhood.

Wire Fox Terriers

Wire Fox Terriers are of great interest as they exhibit power through their excellent endurance capabilities and speed. Alertness and quick movements are the dominant expressions of this dog. It is advisable though, that this dog is trained at an early age and is given plenty of exercise.

Smooth Fox Terriers

Meanwhile, Smooth Fox Terriers are the frolic and lively types of dog terriers that are ideal in both country and city living. Showing intelligence and ingenuity, these dogs are relatively easy to train. They are also likely to show great affection towards their owners.

These are just a few of the many terrier dogs that may be considered as your next pet. In general, these dogs have good temperaments and make ideal companions. Although some may exhibit obscure aggressiveness, this still does not negate the fact that most types have the capability to develop affection and keen expression of their attachment to their owners.

Be aware though that some dog types in this breed can be very playful and ought to be given adequate amount of attention and time during obedience training and exercises.
