A Border Terrier is a small, rough-coated breed of dog in the terrier family.
The Border Terrier has a double coat consisting of a soft undercoat and harsh, wiry outer coat. Colours include grizzle and tan ( a sort of salt and pepper look), blue and tan (sometimes looks almost black), red grizzle, and less commonly, wheaten. The coat needs to be stripped by hand (not clipped) regularly, as the top coat becomes long and shaggy and eventually dies. Borders being shown generally have a short coat that has been stripped and is starting to grow back. Never clip a border terrier only around the face area where there is scraggy bits of hair. If you clip a Border Terrier around its back it can ruin their fur and make it go curly and you will not get the normal shape fur back.
