The opening statement in the Constitution and Rules of the Southern Border Terrier Club states that the Club's "objects shall be to encourage in every possible way the breeding of the Border Terrier of correct type and working qualities and the judging of them at shows according to the breed standard."

The Club will support shows for the correct type of Border Terrier in particular to support classes for terriers holding a historical working certificate signed by the Master of a recognised pack of Foxhounds hunting Foxes and registered in the Club Register of such working certificate holders.
