Border Terrier. Border Terrier, breed of small dog, so named because it was developed, probably by the 18th century, from terrier strains found along the border country between England and Scotland. The dog stands about 30 cm (about 12 in) at the shoulder and weighs up to 7 kg (15 lb). The ears are folded and the relatively short tail is held erect. The body has a dense undercoat and a short, wiry outercoat from red to brownish, black or tan. Bred as a fox hunter, it is also used for herding. The breed was officially recognized in England in 1920 and by the American Kennel Club in 1950. Microsoft ® Encarta ® 2009. © 1993-2008 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
