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 Bouvier des Flandres
Powerful, rugged herding dog from Flanders, medium‑large with a thick, tousled double coat and bearded face. Calm yet serious, strongly loyal and protective, it needs early socialization, confident positive training, regular mental challenges, and plenty of daily exercise.
