Cairn terriers have a characteristic terrier personality. They make good watchdogs, as they are very alert and bark easily. They have a cheerful and lively attitude, but can be very territorial and need to be trained to respect the authority of their owners.

Border terriers are great family pets, they are brilliant with kids and the elderly. I have one myself and he is a kind and loving dog with a playful touch, although he doesn't need to be walked a lot, just once a day does it for us. Border terriers have the perfect temperament for a family pet and I would recommend this breed to anyone.

Rat Terriers tend to be very loud and verbal but they make good pets for outdoor people who are looking for a athletic outdoor dog who is willing to snuggle and don't mind that they are somewhat temperamental. Also, they tend to bond to only a few people and are wary of everybody else for a little while.

The JRT is a very active, lively, enthusastic little dog that likes to be on the go, out and about, doing something physically challenging just about all the time. Some dog trainers have described these intelligent, attractive terriers as "hyperactive," and others, only half joking, have said that Jack Russells "like to bounce off the walls and ceiling."

These dogs were originally bred to bolt the fox from his den, so they are extremely bold and assertive. They are also good ratters, and therefore have a tendency to nip when excited. While they are generally gentle around children and their masters, they may be a little hard to control sometimes. They are a good pet for active owners, but they require a great deal of exercise. If you're looking for a lap dog, a JRT won't be a good match for you.
