It was in the Cheviot Hills near the border of England and Scotland that the Border Terrier was first bred. The breed is possibly one of the oldest types of terriers in Great Britain. The farmers had problems with foxes killing their stock and the Border Terrier worked alongside them to drive the fox out of their dens and kill them. They were small enough to follow a fox into the ground but big enough to keep up with the horses. The dogs were often not fed by the farmers in hopes it would make their prey drive even higher and they had to hunt to survive. Along with fox they hunted otters, marten, the fierce badger, mice and rats. Today while the Border Terrier is mostly a companion dog, he can still serve as a fine farm dog, helping to control vermin. The Border Terrier was recognized by the British Kennel Club in 1920 and by the American Kennel Club in 1930. Some of the Border Terrier's talents include: hunting, tracking, watchdog, agility, competitive obedience, and performing tricks.
They were originally bred as fox and vermin hunters. They have a good temperament and are rarely aggressive. Due to their leg size, they are fast runners and high jumpers
They are not that talkative. Only when they see a new dog they MIGHT bark. Furthermore, they are energetic, playful, and loyal.
Their hunting instinct and their energy.

The answer is Canis Familiaris. All breeds of domestic dog have this scientific name, including the Border Terrier.
It depends on its personality but most likely yes because they are very even-tempered and friendly, even though they can be stubborn.
