'More brave than beautiful' might be the motto of the Border Terrier. He is a remarkably courageous breed, giving excellent sport to the north-countrymen with otters, foxes, etc. In fact his head is shaped somewhat like an otter's, being broad and short with a strong mouth. Though they are among the smallest of terriers, one of them has been known to kill a badger in single combat, a feat of which very few terriers of any kind would be capable.
