Cairn Terrier

A traditional vermin catching breed, these pups will bark at squirrels, cats, birds, and anything else that moves. They also have a lot of energy and will become loud and destructive when they are bored.

These fur-babies do best in homes with active adults or children. Just make sure you have a sturdy fence and leash as these dogs love to put on a chase. They are independent and harder for the inexperienced to train.

Rat Terrier

These muscular canines are fearless. They can live up to 20 years, so if you aren’t ready for that kind of commitment, it is best to pass up this energetic dog. These pups are not only energetic, but they are loud.

With a shrill bark, they always like to make their presence known to keep the unwanteds out of their territory. These little dogs adapt well to apartment living, but they will need socialization and training to curb their nuisance barking.
