Pet Tips
Terriers
Terriers can be dangerous with small and furry creatures, from cats to rats. These dogs were bred to kill vermin and catch small prey animals, such as rabbits. They love to dig, and they will go down rabbit holes in pursuit of quarry. There are many terriers who have met their demise by being caught in a tunnel collapse, and terrier owners tend to advise others to keep their dog on a leash in an unfamiliar terrain. Some terriers are not trusted in homes with cats and other small animals, but with proper training and socialization, most of terriers can be trusted with cats.
Consider a terrier, if you want a bold and lively dog. Even though they are usually small, they have high energy and love to exercise and play. They are also very intelligent and will find something to keep them busy if you don’t. The downside to terriers is some of them can be snappy and reactive.
The terrier group includes the Norwich terrier, the Border terrier, the cairn terrier, and the larger Airedale terrier. Bully breeds are also among the terrier group, they include Staffordshire bull terriers, bull terriers, and American pit bull terriers. These breeds were originally ratters, they were bred to kill vermin for practicality or sport. Also, they were used in other blood sports, such as bull baiting or dog fighting. There are concerns about their temperament because of this background and their continued use in illicit dog fighting. However, fans of bully breeds argue that most of these breeds are extremely people-oriented and especially good with kids. And they are not reliably good with other dogs. Bully breed owners are encouraged to expose their puppies to as many social dog experiences as possible, although there are bullies who do love their fellow canines with no extra training or socialization.
