I agree about going to the national breed club to look for a dog. I would strongly recommend a mini rather than full size. Either size is going to be expensive, due to the difficulties of birthing puppies with heads of that type. The breed has some genetic health problems, so you want ONLY a good breeder.
And you should be aware that it's a bad idea to keep a terrier with another dog in the home of the same sex. The terrier doesn't behave "normally" in pack order spats. The terrier has a trait of gameness that causss the fight to go on and the dog not stop even when injured, and even if the other dog is a lot bigger, and even when the other dog is ready to give up the fight.
This is far less of a problem if the two are opposite sex, because then they are not in direct competition for pack order. Males have their order in a pack and females have theirs. As long as you don't put them in competition over food or highly desirable chews or toys by giving those items to the dogs when they are together, opposite sex usually works fine.
The time to think about this is before you even choose a dog--and also be thinking about other dogs you expect to acquire during this dog's lifetime. Thinking ahead really, really helps in making decisions you'll be happy with when it comes to selecting dogs.
