Adopting a Border Terrier

Frequently asked questions about acquiring an Border Terrier - the pros and cons of adopting versus going through a breeder, and associated costs.

The cost to adopt a Border Terrier is around $300 in order to cover the expenses of caring for the dog before adoption.

The easiest way to adopt a Border Terrier would be through a rescue that specializes in Border Terriers. A great place to start would be by starting a breed search on Adopt a Pet. The search will show you all the available Border Terriers in your area.

Border Terrier fun facts

Fun Facts:

Hill foxes could easily destroy farm stock, so farmers and shepherds needed a powerful dog with legs long enough to follow a horse but short enough to follow foxes underground. The Border Terrier was their scrappy answer to their fox predator woes.

The Border Terrier is the only terrier that has a loose and moveable hide, or skin, which was to protect the dogs during foxhunting and allow him to wiggle in and out of tight tunnels.

The Border Terrier is often regarded as one of the oldest breeds of terrier in Britain.
