A Guide To Popular Types Of Terriers

There are many types of terrier: American Pit Bull, Scottish, Jack Russel, Cesky, West Highland White (Westie), Airedale, Staffordshire, Yorkshire (Yorkie), as well as Boston terrier to name a few!

First of all, we are going to start with our personal favorite, the heroic dog breed, the American Pit Bull Terrier. There are so many individuals out there that enjoy this breed. However, there are others out there that make this breed a bad name. There are many places that are trying to ban this breed and many of them have succeeded. Many do not realize just how heroic these dogs are. Look up Sergeant Stubby, who took part in WW2. These pets have great temperaments with a willingness to please their owner. They have a body that is thick and muscular. Might we add that they have a good temperament? Cesar Milan is a pit bull owner, in fact, he rehabilitates them.

The Yorkshire Terrier is an adventurous sort. They have long coats and are usually brown, tan, and black in color, which requires quite a bit of grooming. They love to play and make great “alarms,” as they readily bark at an unfamiliar noise. There was even a Yorkshire terrier in Hollywood! The famous dog who played the role of Benji was indeed a Yorkshire terrier.

Additional information about terriers can be found online, in books, or through a veterinarian. Although some of them require quite a lot of grooming, such as regular brushing and bathing, others are much less maintenance. Overall, they are loyal to the core and brave to boot. They also have tons of energy, so if you’re looking for a jogging partner or even a “partner in crime,” this mischievous breed could be perfect for you!
