Its origin is unclear, probably it has the same origin as the Dandie Dinmont Terrier and the Bedlington Terrier . As early as the end of the 18th century, various painters depicted terriers that resemble today's Border Terrier, but the breed as we know it today only emerged later. The breeding began in the early 20th century and the race was in 1920 officially by the Kennel Club recognized.
