Toy Fox Terrier Information
This pup is both a toy and a Terrier, and it shows in his personality. He has the sweet, lapdog qualities of a toy breed coupled with the courage, cleverness and boldness of a Terrier. This dog is an adorable, eager companion with an impressive appearance: satiny coat combining white, black and tan; pointy, erect ears; melt-your-heart eyes; and tiny, impossibly cute body.
The Toy Fox Terrier was created in the United States by combining the small Smooth Fox Terriers with various toy breeds, including Chihuahuas, Italian Greyhounds, Miniature Pinschers and Manchester Terriers. Boundaries must be set with this willful, active breed, but once you do, you’ll be rewarded with a cute, cuddly, well-behaved little furball.
