Introduction

Terriers are a type of dog that have been bred for their hunting instincts. Terriers were originally used as hunting dogs, but they also make great house pets today! Here are 7 fun facts about different types of terrier dogs:

Beagles:

Beagles, also known as “Beagle hounds”, are one of the most popular breeds of dogs in the United States and all over the world. They are known to be extremely friendly and they make great family dogs. Beagles are very easy to train because they love pleasing their owners! These dogs have a strong sense of loyalty that makes them protective of their families and children.

They have short coats which makes grooming them easier compared to other breeds with long hair coats that need regular brushing or combing. They also shed less than other breeds so you don’t have to spend time cleaning up after your pup when he comes back inside from a play session outside!

Jack Russell Terrier:

Jack Russell Terrier is a small dog breed. They can be white, black, tan and even brown. Their body size is about 12-14 inches tall and their weight usually ranges from 20-25 pounds for females, while males are slightly bigger at 22-28 pounds.

Jack Russell Terriers are known for their stamina and athletic ability; they love to run around all day long! Jack Russells have a very high prey drive which means they will chase any moving object like cars or squirrels in order to catch it! This makes them great hunting dogs as well!

Most Jack Russell owners consider their pet as part of the family because they’re always happy to see you when you come home from work or school 🙂

American Pit Bull Terrier:

The American Pit Bull Terrier is a breed of dog that is often confused with the American Staffordshire Terrier, which is also called the Amstaff. The Pit Bull is a medium-sized, solidly built dog with short coat. The name comes from their original use as pit-fighting dogs in the 19th century. The breed was bred to be strong and athletic so they could fight other dogs for sport. This has led to some misconceptions about how aggressive they are—but in reality, most Pit Bulls will be friendly with strangers if properly socialized as puppies!

Border Terrier:

A Border Terrier is a small breed of dog developed in the border region between England and Scotland, named for its working class owners who lived on the Anglo-Scottish border. The Border Terrier is an energetic, playful and loyal dog. This breed makes a good companion to all members of your family and can be trained easily. The Border Terrier weighs from 8 to 14 pounds as an adult but can grow up to 18 pounds when fully grown.

Fox Terrier:

Following the fox, the fox terrier is a small, feisty dog. They are highly energetic and love to run around and play. They can be stubborn at times but are also known for being great with kids. Fox terriers tend to have a high prey drive so they might not be suitable for homes with small pets such as rabbits or hamsters. However, they do make excellent watchdogs!

Cairn Terrier:

The Cairn Terrier is a small, hardy and strong dog. The Cairn Terrier was developed in Scotland to hunt foxes and other vermin. They have a compact body, with the tail curled over their back. The Cairn Terrier can be any color, but they are mostly white or red/tan with some black spots on their back feet.

Welsh Terrier:

The Welsh Terrier is a very small, compact dog that has a short and smooth coat. They are very playful, energetic and intelligent. These dogs are also very friendly and affectionate towards people, especially children! However, the Welsh Terrier may nip at children if not trained properly from an early age.

Scottie Terrier (Scottish):

The Scottish Terrier is a breed of dog of the terrier group. The Scottish Terrier has been called the Scottie, and while this is the most common name for the breed in North America (and Australia), it is less commonly used in Europe. These dogs are small but sturdy little dogs with a long body, big head, short legs and tail curled over their backs. They were bred to hunt other vermin underground such as foxes and badgers. Their coat can be black or blue-gray with white markings on their feet and chest as well as ticking throughout their bodies.

Section Airedale Terrier:

Airedale Terriers are very smart and energetic dogs. They are not only loyal, but they also have a lot of energy to play and be active. This makes them very good with children. Airedale Terriers are friendly and playful, but they can also act as guard dogs for their owners if needed.

Airedale Terriers will get along well with other pets in the household because of their friendly nature and playful personality.

Section Wire Fox Terrier (Wire-Haired):

The Wire Fox Terrier is a breed of dog whose exact origins are unknown. The name “Wire Fox Terrier” comes from the fact that this breed’s coat was originally wiry, and has since become smoother through selective breeding.

The Wire Fox Terrier was bred to hunt small game such as rabbits and rats — hence their keen sense of smell (partly due to their long snouts). One thing they’re not good at? Playing fetch with other dogs — they’re too busy focusing on the task at hand!
