A true terrier is a medium-sized black and tan breed. The breed is filled with energy since it was bred for hunting and had an independent spirit. They generally weigh around 20 pounds. For seniors, the reason this breed is great is because of its playfulness, energy, and spirit. This dog requires many exercises while they are not as ideal for less capable seniors, which means it can help someone stay in shape. To top it off, since they are so playful and lively, they’re great dogs for playing with grandchildren.
