There are many different Terrier dog breeds ranging from very small, to much larger, and all with their own unique needs and traits. Some terriers are very playful and energetic, others more docile. Some terriers require lots of grooming, with long, shaggy hair. Others have smooth, short fur, which requires far less grooming.
