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 Chow Chow
Ancient Chinese breed with lion-like coat and blue-black tongue. Medium, sturdy, and square-built, it has a dense double coat needing regular grooming. Independent, loyal, and reserved with strangers, it suits calm homes and experienced owners, requiring moderate exercise and careful health management.
