Background and Description:

Many people love the feisty nature of the Toy Fox Terrier who continues to play like a puppy throughout his life.

The Toy Fox Terrier resulted from American breeding of the Smooth Fox Terrier with various toy breeds including Miniature Pinschers, Italian Greyhounds and Chihuahuas.

This small dog is handsome and well-balanced in appearance, and adorned with a smooth coat. Characteristics of both the toy and the terrier can be seen in its general personality. This small dog breed is one that is playful all its life and will happily lend a hand to chase down rodents if needed.

Appearance:

Height 9-11 inches Weight 3.5 to 7 pounds
Colors: white and black with tan, white/tan, or white/black.

Coat and Care:

This is one dog that looks tidy all the time. Grooming is a snap with their smooth easy care coat and light/average amount of shedding.

Personality and Traits:

Brave, alert with a fearless demeanor akin to the terrier, they make excellent watchdogs, but don't bark to excess. They are also 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.

Activity Level:

The Toy Fox Terrier is considered to be self-exercised as a result of its indoor activity always being on the high side. They'll happily take you for a walk though!

Space Needs:

Very adaptable to most any living situation and requiring little space.

Children:

This breed is perfect for kids because they live to play, are smart, clever and have lots of energy. Because of their size, they do best with children over the age of six who are mature enough to be considerate and gentle with pets. As always, it is a good policy to have an adult supervise activities between dogs and youngsters.
