Character & Temperament

The Biewer Terrier is a true gem when it comes to his personality. His charming and affectionate nature makes him an ideal companion, especially if you are looking for someone who always wants to be by your side. He is also incredibly playful and will fill your days with joy and laughter. His intelligence means he learns quickly, but he also has an independent side and can be a little stubborn at times. Since the Biewer Terrier was originally bred as a companion dog, it is very people-oriented and loves to be the center of attention. He enjoys being part of the family and takes an active part in family life. This also means that he doesn't like to be left alone. It is important to teach him to stay alone, but you should be careful not to do this for long periods of time. His terrier heritage means he also has some degree of prey drive, but this is generally not as strong as other terrier breeds. He is curious and attentive, which also makes him a good watchdog. He will probably let you know when someone is at the door, but his small size means he is not suitable as a protection dog. In terms of temperament, the Biewer Terrier is generally happy and energetic, but not hyperactive. He enjoys playtime and walks, but he's also content to just sit on your lap and be petted. It should be noted that the Biewer Terrier can sometimes be reserved around strangers and it is important to socialize him well from puppyhood so that he grows into a balanced and confident dog.
