Whatever
your dog preference is, you are sure to find terrier dogs among the
most popular. Englishmen especially love all types of
terriers. Where ever you find an englisman, you are certain
to find a terrier.
Basically bred for hunting and killing vermin, Terrier dogs are now
known to offer wide spectrum of character traits 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.
The terrier dog types are exciting to own and can be considered as your
best pets. In general, terrier dog have good dispositions and makes
ideal house 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.
