Dog Breeds in the Terrier Group
Some terriers are small, but that doesn't stop them from being brave. They are
scrappy little hunters who seek out vermin such as rats. Terra means "earth" in Latin; terriers are, literally, "earthdogs." They'll dig anywhere if it means catching their prey. This hunting instinct, however, can lead to digging in the yard. You can train your terrier to dig in his own special sandbox--he'll love it.
Terriers are able to live quite happily in the city or the country. Their strong sense of determination requires some determination from you when it comes to training, but your efforts will be rewarded with these clever, hardy dogs.
Many of the terriers have unique coats that don't shed. Their coats do, however, need grooming--often special trimming or clipping--to keep them looking their best.
