Border Terriers - Health Issues
Border Terriers do not appear to suffer from any serious hereditary diseases. Such illnesses like teeth defects, seizures, and deafness or skin disease have been reported to be problems in Border Terriers. However, these are treatable conditions. Both Border Terrier parents should have OFA certificates for hips and CERF certificates for eyes. Ask your breeder about heart defects, low thyroid, luxating patella and allergies in the lines. Border Terriers are considered rough dogs that are relatively insensitive to pain. Therefore, they tend not to show signs of illness even if something really disturbs them. Both the breeder and the owner should be very attentive to the Border Terrier's health condition.
Border Terriers - General Care Tips
The Border Terrier's wiry coat requires weekly brushing and professional grooming at least twice a year. The Border Terrier does not shed much. The breed is considered suitable for allergy sufferers. Clip the dog's nails and bathe only when necessary.
Border Terriers - Origins
The Cheviot Hills is the place the Border Terrier was originally bred in. This is located near the border between England and Scotland. The breed was meant to help farmers drive foxes from their dens. These dogs have also been used to hunt otter, badger and marten. Nowadays, the Border Terrier is highly valued as a companion dog. The British Kennel Club recognized the breed in 1920. The AKC gave Border Terriers its recognition 10 years later.
