I hope you'll take time to explore Breeder's Pedigree, the Gene Bank, and of course, Puppies For Sale. Multi-Talented Toy Fox Terriers!
Known in the south as a "feist dog," he is indeed feisty, a uniquely
American terrier in a toy dog's body!

At
about 7 pounds and 10" The Toy Fox Terrier is sturdy, cobby, and extremely
agile. His good health, strong bones, handy size and incredible
intelligence made him popular with circus performers. He can jump to
amazing heights, walk a plank, jump rope, or climb a ladder, and he never forget
his routine or misses his "mark" for camera or trainer.
For nearly a century, the Toy Fox Terrier has been prized by farmers as a superb varmint eradicator! The only toy and terrier developed in America, the genes of a thousand generations of working terriers prompt him to seek out mice and rats which he quickly and bloodlessly dispatches with a snap of the neck. His toy dog size allows him to get into places too big for other terriers.
The Toy Fox Terrier is devoted to his owner. He combines the absolute devotion of the toy dog with the intensity and single-mindedness of a working terrier. As the perfect companion/watchdog, nothing escapes his attention.
Sure, the Toy Fox Terrier is a lady’s lap dog but his clean racy lines, high gloss finish, low maintenance and top acceleration make him easy to drive – men love him too! Well muscled, not delicate, he represents careful selection for hardiness and working ability.
There’s just nothing he isn’t good at! The Toy Fox Terrier is brimming with courage, thus he’s the perfect alarm dog that can’t be conned or silenced until you say it’s okay. He's just the right size to fit in the shopping cart at home improvement centers or under your cape at the beauty shop! A perfect family dog, The Toy Fox Terrier adores well-mannered children and will entertain them for hours.
If you love the outdoors, this athletic little dog will match you step for step and keep you laughing as they hunt everything from crickets to squirrels! And a Toy Fox Terrier does more than spot the squirrel for the hunter, he'll do his best to climb the tree to get it!
Best of all, the Toy Fox Terrier is quietly where you are, knows your every thought, and is sure to be your under-the-covers dog. Playful and active well into the teen-years, the TFT has a contagious zest for life that can’t help but make you feel good! With an Einstein IQ and Red Skelton’s bag of tricks, the Toy Fox Terrier could be your greatest gift to yourself.
