If you’re willing to be persistent with training as you seem to be a Jack Russell Terrier might be good. My JRT Mix lives with five cats and is fine with them, he’s good with dogs and I’m sure he’d be fine with horses. The thing with the JRT’s are that they do bark alot and are very hyper, but I’m sure your other two dogs are too. I think the Rat Terrier would also be good as they are kinda like the Jack Russell, to my knowledge anyway.

I think a Shipperke would suit you well>http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&rl…
They are go-getters, love to be with their owners, and yet independent enough to entertain themselves. My friends always have shipperkes, and they travel to art shows around the nation.. They are less apt to stray from an unfenced yard than many of those breeds that you listed..AND they are fairly uncommon.
Here is a little more about them:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schipperke
They get up to 20 pounds.
However, if you visit your local shelter first..you might just find the dog of your dreams! My little rescued mixed breed, fits all of your needs. She is awesome! ( looks just like a smaller Benji)

Those are all VERY different breeds.
Get one that fits YOUR lifestyle.:0)
Try the breed selector quiz and see what breed(s) show up that are right for you. http://animal.discovery.com/breedselecto…

Have you ever considered a Pug? They are great companions, get along with everything from kids to other animals, and have a heart of gold!! Two downsides I will warn you about… they are stubborn, and they shed… A LOT…
other than that, they are the best little dogs in the world!! I never considered having one, but my fiance wanted one. She changed our lives so drastically, now we have two!! I don’t think I would want anything else!!! ) Good luck with your decision…

Are you even SURE you want a terrier? Terriers have a tenancy to dig, make noise, run away, chase small animals and kill them, etc. etc. etc.
Take a breed quiz: http://www.dogbreedinfocenter.com/search…
It is imperative to have a fenced-in yard. Dogs WILL run away, especially your the ones in your list. If you don’t want one that will run away, then get one that will be inside of the house at all times.

italian greyhounds are really good travalers. I have a yorkie and it is an even better travaler. It doesn’t eat, drink, or poop much and most hotels allow them.
