Tenterfield Terrier

Tenterfield Terriers are small dogs with big terrier opinions. They’re alert and confident enough to think they’re running the show, but adaptable enough to actually fit into your life without destroying it, which puts them ahead of most terriers. If you own one, these shirts are for people who appreciate a compact, smooth-coated dog that won’t shed your house into oblivion but will definitely let you know when someone walked past your front door three blocks away.
