Border Terrier buying questions
How much do Border Terrier puppies cost in the UK?+
Border Terrier puppies typically sell for £800–£1,800 in the UK. Prices move with health testing, Kennel Club registration, pedigree lines and location. Vaccinations, microchipping, worming and a vet check should all be included in the price.

Ask to see the puppy with its mother in the home where it was bred, request health test certificates for both parents, confirm the microchip is registered and the first vaccination is done, and check the breeder holds a council licence if they breed regularly. Never pay a deposit before visiting in person.
Is a Border Terrier a good family pet?+
Border Terriers suit families who can meet their exercise, training and grooming needs. Match the breed to your home, your daily routine and the age of your children rather than to looks alone.
