I'm pretty certain I've narrowed my second dog breed choices (that will end up happening within a year or two, probably).
If I don't end up with a Silky or Yorkie (which is still highly possible), it's pretty much between a Border Terrier and a Westie, I think.
Now, I've only met probably two BT's in my life. Lately, I've been meeting a TON of Westies and it's making me want one. But some of them that I meet seem a bit TOO "terrier" for me... From what I've been reading about BT's, their personality is basically like Jackson is. Enough terrier to have fun and be cool but laid back enough to not display much DR/DA and seems to be friendly in general, etc.
Something about BT's is calling me to them but I really wish I could meet a few more of them to get a feel for them first. I met two are the dog park who were really cool.
What would you say is the main difference between a BT and a Westie, if any?
I've been exploring some breeder options. Since BT's are a somewhat more 'rare' breed, I know sometimes the wait lists can take a while so I'd kind of like to find a breeder that I really like and talk to them.
I like this kind of BT... this would be my 'ideal' BT
Would this be considered 'grizzle and tan' or 'blue and tan'?
