The breeds of this group, which possess a peculiar trait known as “terrier fire,” are hunting dogs bred to ferret out small animals such as foxes, rabbits, and badgers from their lairs. To maintain their characteristic appearance, a special grooming technique known as stripping-pulling out dead hair- is necessary. They are agile and alert, and in spite of their small size, these breeds tend to be aggressive and daring. They also display a unique ability to think independently while tracking and hunting, and they are bright enough to outsmart small animals that threaten crops and livestock. The more you get to know these dogs, the more their fiery dispositions and intelligence will enchant you.
