A Glimpse on the Various Types of Terrier Dogs
Whatever your dog preference is, you are sure to find terrier dogs among the candidates for a pal. You'll get energy you want with little grooming and added wit.
Basically bred for hunting and killing vermin, Terrier dogs are now known to offer wide spectrum of features and characters that you might find lovable. They are not as cuddly as toy dogs (while there are some terrier dogs in the toy and companion dog brackets) and they may not be as intelligent like other breeds but they set off these lacks with various things that only they can offer.
Let us discuss in brief some of the terrier dog types that you may find interesting:
Less aggressive but definitely not timid. This best describes Soft Coated Wheaten Terriers. They are definitely alert and very spirited, but when the call for steadiness arrives, they are sure to show you some air of confidence and steady disposition.
This dog type too is gifted with intelligence which makes them very responsive with obedience training.
Parson Russell Terrier is a dog type that exhibits boldness, cleverness, affection and exuberant disposition. While many may find this a playful pal, it is still not advisable for everyone to take Parson Russell home. In fact, formal obedience training is a must for owners since this dog type is more likely to display mischievousness and too much playfulness that make this a very independent pet. For people with active lifestyles and those who can tolerate explorative disposition, this scamp is the best for you.
The Norwich Terrier, on the other hand, is a type of dog that resulted from breeding small Terriers with other smaller breeds, possibly Yorkshire Terriers. Maintenance of Norwich Terrier is minimal and they are content with modest living quarters. They have active disposition though and can be affectionate and fearless. Additionally, they are also known to display stocky and happy personalities which make them ideal pals.
Much like the Norwich Terriers, Norfolk Terriers are also well-spirited, fearless, charming and always ready for game. While both may have some similar physical characteristics, Norfolks can still be distinguished through their folds in the ears.
Basically workman-like dogs, Kerry Blue Terriers are excellent watchdogs and work well in farm settings. This dog got its name from its blue-shade coat color which was originally black during puppyhood.
Wire Fox Terriers are of great interest since they display power through its excellent endurance capabilities and speed. Alertness and quick movements are the dominant expressions of this dog type. It is advisable though that the owner trains this dog and should be given enough doses of daily exercises.
Meanwhile, Smooth Fox Terriers are the frolic and lively types of dogs that are ideal in both country and city living. Displaying intelligence and cleverness, this dog makes good trainees and must be well credited by that. They are also likely to show great affection towards their owners.
These are just some of the many terrier dog types that can be considered as your next pets. In general, this dog type has good dispositions and makes ideal home pets. While some may display obscure aggressiveness, this still does not negate the fact that most types have the capacity to develop affection and keen expression of their attachment to their owners. Be warned though that some dog types in this breed can be very playful and should be given enough amount of attention and time during obedience training and exercises.

does anybody have a borkie (bichon yorkie mix)? (Answers: 4) (Comments: 0)
I have a dog and his mom was a rescue. He was one of the puppies she was pregnant with when she was rescued. Being a rescue, we do not know who the dad was of these dogs. The mom was a pure bread bichon frise and they do not get that big, but my dog and his siblings are 40 pounds. The litter is split meaning some of the dogs look more like a poodle and the other few look like wheaten terrior. So a bichon poodle mix doesnt look like them and a wheaten bichon mix doesnt either. then while i was searching, i saw a borkie. it was a splitting image of all the pups and what they look like now. So i was wondering if any one has a borkie or knows how big they get so i can see if i finally crack the case.....also i have been wanting another dog and i was also wondering if borkies get along with other dogs! Thanks, i know this is a lot but
PLEASE help!!!!

Our wheaten terrior/ sheep dog ate a 6oz dark chocolate bunny, he is 47 pounds....what do you know??? (Answers: 8) (Comments: 0)
We think he might have he eaten it around noon and 12 hours later vomited a tiny bit and that is when we were sure he ate the bunny (my son insisted I has eaten it)
He is eating and drinking normally.
Due to your answers I called the vet. Was told that he should be fine but to watch him, for he may vamit and have very soft stools. Since Banjo ate the chocolate almost 13 hours ago, it is too late to give him the peroxide.
I also asked about his heart rate and she said he was doing well here too.
Thank you all for your input, you encouraged us to call the vet...at 1am, I was thinking I should wait till the AM. I will keep a close eye on Banjo...and now my son knows that I was telling the truth when I told him I DID NOT EAT YOUR BUNNY! Thank you!!!!
