Feisty and energetic are two of the primary traits that come to mind for those who have experience with Terriers. In fact, many describe their distinct personalities as “eager for a spirited argument.”

Bred to hunt, kill vermin and to guard their families home or barn; sizes range from fairly small, as in the Norfolk, Cairn or West Highland White Terrier, to the larger and grand Airedale Terrier. Prospective owners should know that terriers make great pets, but they do require determination on the part of the owner because they can be stubborn; have high energy levels, and require special grooming (known as “stripping”) to maintain a characteristic appearance.

Terriers are a specific group and type of dog that were originally bred to dig and hunt for prey like foxes, moles, badgers, and rats. Their name originates in the Latin word ‘terra’ and means ‘earth’ – although some people joke that the word terrier actually comes from the word terror!

There are many sizes and shapes of breeds in the terrier group but there’s one thing which is that feisty, mischievous personality and an energetic nature. Terriers are highly intelligent and trainable, for people with patience and a great sense of humor.

Terriers are known for their sassy personalities and their penchant for picking fights with much larger dogs. Most of the breeds in this group are small, such as the Norfolk and Cairn, but there are also large terriers in the mix, such as the regal Airedale. The name “terrier” comes from the Latin word “terra,” meaning earth. Terriers were originally bred to hunt and kill vermin, and their bodies were designed to get into tight places to track down their intended prey. Hunting vermin often involved digging in the dirt, and as many owners know, today’s Terriers still enjoy a good dig in the yard.

These breeds are also territorial of the earth that they consider to be “theirs,” that is, their yard and their home. A terrier will bark up a storm at any person or animal who approaches their turf. The terrier’s instinctive desire to chase small animals makes them ideal for single-pet homes only. They will terrorize cats or other pets incessantly, and it’s nearly impossible to train the chase out of a terrier.

These breeds typically do not enjoy the company of other dogs, unless they are raised together from a young age. It is not recommended that families with small children adopt terriers, either. They lack the patience for children, and they much prefer to be the center of attention at all times.

  1. I had a Westie for almost 15 years and that terrier has my heart always. However I’ve always been interested in the Wheaten terrier too… maybe in the future?

  2. Jack, our second bully, is eight and 100% original, aka not neutered. Major personality difference from the first. No interest in other dogs. Loves people. Has yet to show his teeth or growl in anger. Gets along great with the grandkids. Sure is stubborn. Selective hearing and more often than not takes a command as a suggestion. A trim 65 pounds. I sure would like his metabolism.

  3. Obviously the Airedale Terrier is the most prestigious and admirable dog. They have a sweet demeanor, playful, very smart, and fearless. Yes, other terrier's may be courageous. But not like an Airedale. There is a reason why Airedales are KING of the Terriers.

    I

  4. Also Airedales are Siblings. They’ll never fully listen nor fully disobey. Kinda look at you, disobey for 5 seconds than come lick your face and say sorry.
    If you want a servant 100% obey slave like dog than get a lab imo

  5. My Jack Russel is the my best companion. So loyal, so much personality and intelligence. Also great for hunting small animals.
