   There are so many different terriers in the dog world. How many do you know of? Do you know the name of the terrier in the picture?  (Wikipedia Public Domain)

   I guess around 5-6 :
   
   American Pit Bull Terrier
   Bull Terrier
   Lakeland Terrier
   American Staffordshire Terrier
   Border Terrier
   Kromfohrlander
   
   The dog in the picture seems to be a Pitbull. Is it ?

      Hi Akriti. No - it is not a Pitbull. Interesting on the Kromfohrlander - I never heard of that one.

      The dog in the picture is a Staffordshire Bull Terrier. Very similar to the American Bull Terrier and the Pit Bull.

   Hi Phyllis,
   
   I know there are so many, but the only ones that come to mind right now are the Jack Russell Terrier (because I had one), the Scottish Terrior, I think LOL.  The one in the photo does look like a pit bull, but I don't have a clue.

      Hi Faith. The Scottish Terrier is a terrier breed - usually called a Scottie. It is also referred to as an Aberdeen Terrier. I love Jack Russells. My brother has two and they are so sweet and affectionate.

      Yes, Scottie. Jack Russells are so active and can leap so high in the air, almost like they are flying LOL. I love their short hair and size, and they are protective of their family.

   I had an Airedale Terrier for almost fourteen years. She was amazing! Terriers have unique and wonderful personalities from my experience. Awesome dogs. : )

   Ha, ha, Phyllis! My knowledge is practically zippo when it comes to dog breeds. My daughter's one Pit bull mix is believed to be part rat terrier (if there is such a thing). She constantly sniffs the yard for lizards to chase.
   
   The answers to this question are educational. I wish to thank those knowledgeable hubbers out there on this one.
