People familiar with this Group invariably comment on the distinctive terrier personality. These are feisty, energetic dogs whose sizes range from fairly small, as in the Norfolk, Cairn or West Highland White Terrier, to the grand Airedale Terrier. Terriers typically have little tolerance for other animals, including other dogs. Their ancestors were bred to hunt and kill vermin. Many continue to project the attitude that they're always eager for a spirited argument. Most terriers have wiry coats that require special grooming known as stripping in order to maintain a characteristic appearance. In general, they make engaging pets, but require owners with the determination to match their dogs' lively characters.

Terriers generally don't make good apartment dogs. They are very high energy dogs by nature, very smart but strong willed. They can be very noisy (barky) and have lots and lots of energy. They are great for people with a house and a lot of time and energy. I have never met a laid-back terrier. You'll need to get this dog out for a good romp at least twice a day or your going to have trouble on your hands.
If you really want to live with a terrier in an apartment, you are really going to have to commit to getting it exercised at least twice a day, in all kinds of weather.
What kind of terrier is best for an apartment? I know that I would like a short haired terrier that isn't too high-energy, but which type of terrier is like that?
