About Terrier Breeds in General:
Tenacity, resilience, even immense power in some breeds, Terrier breeds have made headlines, and become known as "Terrors" of the dog world, an undeserved reputation, except in the hands of unskilled or uncaring owners. Terriers require a good foundation of socialization, and steady obedience training, lest they become problem diggers, barkers, or worse.
About Toy and Companion Breeds in General:
The lapdog, favourite of royalty throughout history, must be one of man's greatest indulgences. Bred solely for companionship, these dogs are still popular around the world today.
