Summary
About Border Terrier
Small, sturdy terrier originally bred on the England–Scotland border to hunt foxes. Affectionate, bonded to family, yet independent with strong prey drive. Needs 1–2 hours of daily exercise, secure fencing, and kind training. Wiry, weather-resistant coat needs brushing and occasional hand stripping.
About American Bully
The American Bully is a compact, muscular companion dog from the U.S., derived from pit bull–type breeds and bred for a stable, friendly temperament. Available in several sizes, it has a blocky head, short low-care coat, and thrives on close family contact, training, and socialisation.
