West Highlands, Scotties, and Other Terriers - Tammy Gagne
Cover
Independent Terriers
The American Kennel Club’s (AKC) terrier group is made up of 30 dog breeds. Terriers were first developed as hunting dogs. Many of them worked alongside larger hunting dogs, such as hounds. The hounds chased foxes and other burrowing animals into their dens. The terriers’ job was to force quarry out of these tight spaces. Some terriers still perform this work.
Many members of the terrier group are popular as pets. These high-energy canines are known for their feisty personalities. They need owners who are prepared to train these intelligent yet independent animals. Pet terriers need lots of exercise and engaging activities.
Terriers have a distinctive, spirited personality. They typically have a low tolerance for other animals, including other dogs. Terriers should never be kept in the same home with small pets, such as mice or hamsters.
Terriers come in a wide range of sizes and appearances. Don’t let the littlest group members fool you, though. Every member of the terrier group shares at least some of that determined terrier spirit. Get ready for a look at each one!
Fun Fact
The AKC sponsors dog shows across the United States. At some AKC events, kids can show dogs. Junior handler classes allow children ages 9 to 18 to learn about showing dogs firsthand.
