Terrier

Terriers, also known as shaghounds or sometimes in the Core Worlds as puffdogs, were a class of small canine that encompassed several many different breeds and subspecies. The first terriers were developed from other small predatory hound species at some point during the Old Sith Wars era, and were initially desired for their natural ability to hunt small rodents and large insects, which often posed a threat to crops and commercial machinery. As time progressed, various terrier breeds became more-so favored as pets rather than workers, and as such terriers soon became associated with the extravagant. Alderaanian terriers were the most popular among the Republic's financial elite. Naastau owned a Commenorian terrier as well as a much more rare chihuahua, both of which lived aboard his starship.
