15 Terrier Dog Breeds:

1. Airedale Terrier

The Airedale is one of, if not the, terrier breeds and will grow up to 50 pounds. It was bred to catch donkeys and rats around the River Aire in Yorkshire, England. It is a good swimmer, a good runner, and an agile hunter, but is gentle and patient with children and can become a beloved member of any family. They need a lot of time and exercise to work their energy, and that's something you'll be reading a lot about on this list.

2. The Staffordshire Terrier.

The Staffordshire Bull Terrier, or Staffie for short, is a strong, stocky and very muscular dog. The breed was originally bred to fight hundreds of years ago, and it is largely because of the breed's deformity and its incredible loyalty to humans that it has been used for dogfighting. It is an incredibly loyal dog and will generally get along very well with all members of the family, including children.

3. Border Terrier.

The Border Terrier is a small, wire-haired terrier. The breed was used to guard stock and was first introduced on the border between England and Scotland. The breed is highly active, requires a lot of exercise, but can be trained well, and does well in agility and obedience classes. As a pet, the Border is responsible and affectionate and will get along with all members of the family.

4. Boston Terrier

The Boston Terrier is the gentleman of the terrier world, and not least because the breed's appearance includes the tuxedo color. They resist small and light, and they love live and small animals. They enjoy playing and spending time with their owners, and most of these dogs will be great with strangers, both legged and four-legged.

5. Bull terrier

The bull terrier was bred in England and has a unique egg-shaped head with bull's-eyes around their eyes, in most cases. Although they are considered small to medium sized dogs, they are very strong and sturdy terriers. They are also loyal and loving, and can be quite protective of their family members so make good guard dogs.

6. Karen Terrier

The Cairn Terrier is a small, shaggy white coated terrier. They can be quite demanding and will want a lot of your time. They also have a high prey drive, which means they are not considered suitable for a new life with cats unless they are introduced at a young age. They are one of the more popular terrier-type breeds, especially for owners who enjoy hiking.

7. Irish Terrier

The Irish Terrier, of course, comes from Ireland. He has bright red hair and is a medium sized dog that is large for a terrier. It was bred to hunt rats and mice and also guard livestock while in family company. It retains these qualities today and makes an excellent family pet with some light work duties.

8. Jack Russell Terrier

The Jack Russell Terrier is a very popular dog breed. It was first breed in England in the century 19th. century by a vicar called John Russell. The dog was nicknamed by its breeder, who was "Jack" Russell. This breed was used to hunt foxes and rabbits, and was also used to kill and destroy mice and rats. The Jack Russell may only be small but it requires a lot of exercise and can become destructive if it is not walked enough.

9. Kerry Blue Terrier.

The Kerry Blue Terrier is another breed from Ireland, this time from the mountains of County Kerry, Ireland. It could hunt, retrieve, and even turn its claws toward livestock. Puppies are born with a black coat, and their fur tends to be the blue-black we know.

10. Miniature Schnauzer

A miniature schnauzer is a smaller version of a standard schnauzer. A dog is lively and active and needs a fair amount of daily activity to keep it fit and healthy. A dog's facial hair needs regular professional grooming, otherwise, it can become discolored and start to look messy. This breed was used as a multi-purpose dog and rat catcher.

11. American Pit Bull Terrier.

The American Pit Bull Terrier was bred for bullfighting and other blood sports. Its shape and strong jaw were designed so that the dog could attach to the bull and not be easily thrown. This strength, combined with the dog's fierce loyalty to its human owner, saw the pit bull used for dog fighting and the breed gained a poor reputation in countries around the world. It requires good training from a young age and in some countries owning the breed is illegal.

12. Scottish Terrier

The Scottish Terrier was bred to hunt foxes and badgers and worked in the Scottish Highlands. They have short legs but a long body and low center of gravity enable the terrier to move around the Scottish mountains more quickly and nimbly. The Scottish Terrier can make a great pet even though he doesn't always get along with other dogs.

13. Welsh Terrier

The Welsh Terrier is an ancient breed that was first bred to catch badgers, foxes and camels. This is a happy little breed that is believed to have originated from Roman breeds. Although the breed was clearly popular in its native Wales, John F. Kennedy kept a Welsh terrier called Charlie, who lived in the White House.

14. Western Highlands.

The West Highland Terrier is a happy looking dog that is often seen smiling. The dog's cheerfulness and tenacity make it a popular dog today, but the dog was originally bred to hunt foxes but in such a way that the white color stood out and prevented the dog from being shot. Many fox hunters considered the dog unlucky because its color cowardice represented.

15. The Yorkshire Terrier

The Yorkshire terrier, or Yorkie, competes with the Chihuahua for the crown of the world's smallest dog breed. Despite being small, the Yorkie is no shrinking violet and will let you know about anything it perceives as a threat. In fact, a Yorkie will tell you just about anything because it's such a small breed. It is also lively, friendly and loving.

Terriers are energetic, tough and very small. They are popular with owners for their working abilities but also for their love of the field and willingness to get outside and enjoy some regular exercise.
