Breed Information

Overview

These pups are happy-go-lucky attention hogs. They can become territorial if not socialized from an early age. That territoriality comes in handy, if the owner needs a tiny watchdog. After a few minutes of vigorous activity, Toy Fox Terriers will settle down on the couch and cuddle for hours. As long as they get their exercise, these dogs are perfectly content indoors.

Toy Fox Terriers are little powerhouses. Their athletic frames and high energy have allowed them to single-handedly clear vermin out of barns for decades. These dogs were often found on farms and granaries across America and pulled their own weight. They also joined circus troupes and performed their little hearts out for crowds. Overall, the Toy Fox Terrier is a fine entertainer and a better companion

Temperament
