As hunters and killers of rats, mice and other woodland creatures, terrier breeds possess special personality traits: courage, determination and spunk. These often feisty, energetic breeds range from the diminutive Scottish Norfolk and Cairn to the spirited soft-Coated Wheaten, the majestic Airedale and the powerful American Staffordshire.
