The Toy Fox Terrier is a small terrier breed of dog, directly descended from the larger Fox Terrier but considered a separate breed.
This breed is fairly healthy. However, some are prone to leg
calve pert hes and stifle, which are typical Toy problems.
Some dogs are allergic to beet pulp, corn, and wheat.
It is good for apartment life. It is active indoors and will
do without a yard. They will normally take care of their own
exercise needs. It cannot tolerate cold weather. The life
expectancy is about thirteen to fourteen years. The Toy Fox
Terrier is easy to groom. Sometimes, it is necessary to comb
and brush the coat. Keep the nails short. It is a light
shedder.
History: Some Toy Fox Terrier breeders can trace their dogs’
lineage back to a Smooth Fox Terrier called
"Foiler", the first fox terrier registered by the
Kennel Club in Britain, circa 1875-76. It is believed that
careful breeding from smaller Smooth Fox Terriers without
crosses to other toy breeds such as Manchester Terrier and
Chihuahua resulted in the Toy Fox Terrier of today.
Toy Fox Terriers were recognized by the United Kennel Club
(UKC) in 1936 and placed in the Terrier Group, and by the
American Kennel Club (AKC) in July 2000 (Toy Group).
Appearance: It is a small dog with a muscular and athletic
appearance. The dog is elegant and graceful with V-shaped ears
and large eyes. The tail can be short and straight. The coat
is short, fine, and glossy in white with black or tan. The
average height is about 10 inches and weight is 3.5-7 pounds.
Temperament: The Toy Fox Terrier is an intelligent, bold and
athletic little dog. Although lithe, it is hardy and well
balanced. Toy Fox Terriers are said to love human company. A
related breed is the Miniature Fox Terrier, which was
developed along similar lines in Australia.
Toy Fox Terriers, like many active and intelligent breeds, can
learn to respond to many words. Toy Fox Terriers were used
commonly in circus shows by clowns so they make great
companions for owners with a good sense of humor. They are
also, in general, not as active as the Jack Russell Terrier
and are well suited for older owners.
They are extremely trainable and make a wonderful companion
for people with disabilities. It is always eager to please its
master. It is friendly and loyal. It is playful and comical,
never yappy.
