In fact, the word terrier comes from the Middle French terrier and before that the Latin terra, meaning earth.

The gameness of terriers was exploited by using them in so-called sporting contests. Initially, terriers competed in events such as clearing a pit of rats. The dog that was fastest in killing all the rats won. Bull Terriers, in particular, were developed as fighting dogs. Game or Gameness means fighting dogs that are selectively bred and conditioned from a very early age to develop traits of eagerness, ready and willing, full of fight, spirited, plucky and a lack of fear to maintain the attack in baiting, despite substantive injury, such as, ripped flesh, dehydration, exhaustion...

- Hunting or working terriers - Still used to find, track, or trail quarry, especially underground, and sometimes to bolt the quarry. These dogs are usually of mixed breeding or of breeds not recognized as pure breeds. These include
- Fell terriers - breeds developed in northern England to assist in the killing of foxes and
- Hunt terriers - breeds developed in southern England to locate and kill or bolt foxes during a traditional mounted fox hunt.
- Show terriers - Rarely used for their original working purpose but are bred for the show ring or as companion dogs. Many of these breeds are excellent family pets and also perform in dog agility trials.
- Toy terrier - Bred "down" from larger terriers, these terriers are shown in the Toy or Companion group. Included among these breeds are the English Toy Terrier and the Yorkshire Terrier. While small, they retain true terrier character and are not "lap dogs."
- Fighting Terriers - The Bull and Terrier types (of which the modern Bull Terrier is one) were originally combinations of bulldogs and terriers as general mixed breed pit dogs. In the late 1800s, they were refined into separate breeds that combined terrier and bulldog qualities. Except for Boston Terriers, they are generally shown as terriers. Responsible breeders have made modern Bull terrier breeds suitable as family dogs and can be considered as show terriers. Sadly, the criminal element still holds illegal dog fights using pit-bull terriers and pit-bull crosses.
