A little about the Tenterfield Terrier
This small, fearless, lightweight terrier is fiesty and makes an energetic and funloving pet. They are eager to please and keen to learn. This breed does well with children however, should not be trusted with other small pets due to their high kill instinct. They are bright, clever, independent and generally alert. They enjoy cuddling with their owner and respond well to positive persistent training.
