A lot of terriers tend to shake and most of the time this is normal for them. However shivering can point to Prince being in pain, experiencing fear, a nervous condition, or fever or feeling cold. If this is a new occurrence and Prince does not stop shaking or shivering you should take him to a veterinarian for an exam.
