These active, smart dogs are extroverts and crave attention. If you’re thinking of getting one, it’s best not to leave them alone for too long, as they are prone to separation anxiety.
As a terrier, they need a moderate amount of exercise and grooming, but they’re otherwise happy companions that will follow you in whatever activity you engage in.
