The Toy Fox Terrier entered the Toy Group on January 1, 2003. This lively, loving and laughable dog parades with elegance and fluid movement, exuding that happy terrier attitude. Descended from the Smooth Fox Terrier, with a few toy breeds interjected to diminutize, their versatility lends itself to a myriad of activities. From small game hunting, to obedience, flyball and agility sports, the Toy Fox Terrier loves to join the family activities in sailing, camping, hiking and television viewing as well. They make great playmates for childrens’ fantasy games.
Beyond being a farm dog, rat terriers have proven themselves to be a versatile, multipurpose breed with a playful, happygolucky attitude. They are an allinone dog able to do virtually anything they are trained to do and they are easily trainable and exceptionally intelligent. They excel in conformation, agility, obedience, rally obedience, terrier racing, earthdog, barn hunt and lure coursing. They are capable of hunting rodents and vermin above and below ground. They make fine therapy and service dogs. And they are loyal friends and companions, especially for families.
