About Border Terriers
The Border Terrier takes its name from the borders of Northumberland and Scotland, where it worked alongside the Border Foxhounds, and was also known locally as the Reedwater Terrier and the Coquetdale Terrier. The Royal Kennel Club describes it as an "active, game and adaptable working terrier", and says Border Terriers are "intelligent, affectionate and good natured dogs".

Can I get a free Border Terrier to a good home in Orkney Islands, or one under £500?
Usually not from a rescue: each asks an adoption fee towards neutering, microchipping and vaccinations, and a "free to a good home" advert is a private one with no rescue checks behind it.
