Terrier Dog Breeds Small in stature but big on personality, terrier dog breeds are a top pick for many pet owners. Nonetheless, it's sometimes assumed that all Terriers are hyperactive and challenging to housebreak.

It's true that some Terrier breeds, like the Bedlington Terrier, are less hyper and better suited to life in the city. The adoption of an older Terrier is a rare piece of advice. Older dogs can be just as affectionate and loyal as puppies, but they typically have less energy and are better trained. Also, you and the dog can benefit greatly from the adoption of a senior dog.
