The versatile Border Terrier can be seen in starring and co-starring roles. As this breed grows in popularity, their film appearances increase. You can also see Border mixes in movies, such as Seeking a Friend for the End of the World (2012) and Spy Kids: All the Time in the World (2011). The original “Benji” (Higgins) was likely part Border Terrier. As well as Humphrey Bogart’s dog, Zero, who appeared in High Sierra and Law of the Timber, both from 1941.
