Border Terrier | Pedigree Chums™ The Dog Bingo Game

Loading

The Border Terrier was bred to keep up with the hunt across rough country, yet still be small enough to follow a fox down its hole. In our family tree, its ancestors include the Bedlington, the Dandie Dinmont and the old fell terriers. It later helped make the Patterdale Terrier, and it is a popular working dog and pet today.
