17. We have a Cairn, which isn't QUITE as high on the Terrier Maniac list, but still pretty active.

In his day, at least. He just turned 14 the other day, and is doing really well, except for his hearing. In his prime he was hell on wheels to rodents... incredible ratter.

If he could have been kept on task, he would have murdered those agility trials. He was faster than you could believe, and could make sharp turns at full speed.

Great dog.
