Toy Fox Terrier History

The Toy Fox Terrier is a terrier that originated in the British Isles. The ancestors of the modern-day toy fox terrier were small, feisty and tenacious working dogs. The modern day toy fox terrier descends from the English White Terrier, which was first recognized by the Kennel Club of England in 1885. The contemporary version of the toy fox terrier was standardized in 1874, and was then split off into two distinct breeds in 1891; one with smooth coats and the other with rough coats. The Rough and Smooth varieties are still recognized by the American Kennel Club, with the Smooth variety now commonly referred to as the “Toy Fox Terrier”. The Miniature version, which weighs between 3 and 7 pounds (1.4 and 3.2 kg), was officially recognized as a separate breed in 1979.

Toy Fox Terrier Activity Requirements

The Toy Fox Terrier is a small, sweet-natured dog that was first developed in England by crossing Smooth Fox Terriers with Miniature and Standard Wire Haired Fox Terriers. They are excellent companion dogs and are beloved for their loyalty, devotion, and companionship. As with most terrier breeds, the Toy Fox Terrier has a reputation for being feisty and stubborn. They generally do well with training, but they can be demanding at times. Training is an important part of owning any dog, and is especially important for very small breeds like the Toy Fox. While your Toy Fox may be small, they still require regular exercise. They can adapt to living in apartments, but they still need a daily walk and some time outside.
