This toy dog breed is for the most part regarded as pretty healthy and long-lived - 12 to 16 years if he is obtained from a reputable breeder.

Diseases that are associated with The TFT include: Patellar Luxation either congenital or from injury, Demodectic Mange, Congenital Legg-Calve-Perthes Disease which causes the hip joints to deteriorate - similar to, but not the same as hip dysplasia., and von Willebrand's Disease (vWD) which causes abnormal bleeding.

Another disease - Congenital Hypothyroidism with Goiter - is considered by some experts to be quite rare in the breed, but is one that affects puppies and is usually fatal.

The TFT is also prone to gum disease which if left untreated can lead to serious heart problems. They can also be allergic to beet pulp, corn and wheat.

Owners should be attentive to dental hygiene, bone health, and skin care.

Personality and Traits:

Brave and alert with the fearless demeanor that is akin to the terrier, they make excellent watchdogs, but don't bark to excess. They are also super intelligent, easy to train and eager to please.

Their disposition is as loving, loyal and devoted as you could wish. They will eagerly enjoy both a cuddle on the couch or a spirited, energetic game. Toy Fox Terriers are comical, playful and entertaining little dogs that have performed with great agility in the circus.

They are very in tune with their masters mood.
