More About Terriers

Terra, the Latin word for "earth," is the basis for the name "terrier," given to a group of dogs bred to tunnel into the earth, or "go to ground," to exterminate vermin. Most terriers recognized today were developed in the British Isles, some as long ago as the fifteenth century.
