"The border terrier has a weather resistant coat with a hard, wiry outercoat and soft undercoat repels most dirt. The coat requires regular brushing to keep the border terrier's appearance neat and tidy. The border terrier is not aggressive and get slong with other dogs, household pets and horses. It cannot take physical punishment without it ruining the bond of trust. The border terrier loves children and is friendly, affectionate, alert, sensible and a sensitive member of the family. In the field he is 'tough as nails;' as a family companion he is good-tempered, obedient, and easily trained."
