The Border Terrier is a handsome and sturdy little breed with a wiry coat that sheds little, making these dogs easy on allergy sufferers. These dogs have long legs, a forward stance, and an instinct for small prey that if left untrained could be problematic for cats, smaller dogs and other little animals. The Border Terrier stands up to 38 centimetres high at the shoulder and can weigh up to 6.3 kilograms as an adult. Not particularly suited for high heat, the Border Terrier does well in small or large homes as long as daily exercise is on the table. They are affectionate with people and other dogs.

In Tennessee, the most popular pet dog breeds are Labrador Retrievers, German Shepherds and Beagles. As of 2019, however, the official Tennessee state dog is the Bluetick Coonhound. The Bluetick Coonhound is an iconic medium-sized breed that gets its name from the greyish spackle marks on its coat. There are lots of great dog-friendly places to explore in Tennessee with your dog, including Old Hickory Lake, Cummins Falls State Park and Shelby Farms Park. Take a memorable trip for the whole family to the Tipton County Museum, Veterans Memorial & Nature Center in Covington. The site features a dog-friendly nature trail through the woods and wetlands that stretches for half a mile.
