Toy Fox Terriers O'BJ
"Puppies with a future - from dogs with a past!"

I am keeping a puppy from each of these litters.  They will probably be the last puppies I keep as that will bring me back up to 8 dogs.  For that reason, I may "retire" two Champion females to the right home...  If a healthy adult of proven quality and impeccable manners appeals, click above.

The puppies pictured below are out of Xtra Hugely Sweet O'BJ" Sweetie" (a Hugely daughter out of Ch. Lollipop O'BJ, puppy win photo is all I have.  She was co-owned, finished over adults, from puppy class).  Sweetie's litter is sired by Speed Bump O'BJ (by Lucky Dog O'BJ out of Ch. Getta Blaze O'BJ).  Sweetie is major-pointed as is Speed Bump (who is owned by Linn Vandiver in New Mexico) and both will finish their AKC Championships this year.

O'BJ Toy Fox Terriers are known for short backs, great angles, solid toplines, strong bones, and high tailsets.  These babies were cold (even in the sunroom it was only 40 degrees) but I wanted to show you faces and structure so we "show stacked" them.  At barely 7 weeks, shivering, and never before on a table, they did their brave little best to stand there.  I'll post more photos when they are older - and warmer.  To see more of each puppy. double-click the picture.

Male puppy for sale: This is "Nosey" and he and brother "Blaze" are almost identical.  Nosey is perhaps the more inquisitive of the boys.  He has perfect proportion and a great topline if we don't look at the face photo where he moved just as the shutter clicked.  Nosey was the first one to untie my shoe laces and okay, he's into everything!  Blaze may have slightly more bone at this stage.  Nosey shows a bit more rear angulation.

Feeling frisky at 9 weeks, they didn't stand as well.  They wanted to explore the table but this is the Nosey boy stacked on the left and a sleepy head shot on right.  Worn out from being told "no! You can't jump off the table" he as good as said, "okay, I'm gonna take a nap then."  He is a showey, beautifully constructed show male.

Male puppy for sale "Blaze" is bone, body substance, and bravado.  In fact, this is an extremely uniform litter.  Sweetie whelped all 5 babies in 3 hours, during mid-day.  What a good girl she is!  Her mother Ch. Lollipop O'BJ whelped 6 pups in slightly over 3 hours, a bitch line we treasure!  Those genes can be passed on to daughters of these boys.  Let's hope so, I'd like to keep a boy!  3 generations of an easy, free-whelping toy breed is priceless.

Blaze has gained a little on Nosey in size and substance and his ears are coming up quicker.  Neither dominates but both like to lead the girls on wild chases around the property.  Both have strong stifles and hocks and this week they can run in a straight line and not crash into each other!  Funny, they rarely run into one of the girls, it's as if they are conscious of who is female even when flying across the yard.  Which one would I pick?  Because Nosey could be a size reducer in a breeding program, maybe him.  Still not sure.

You pick what you like, Hugely and I had a talk and he won, I'm not keeping a male.

female sold - Be My Lucy was nicknamed "Diamond", a little princess.  (She goes to the Calverts who have named her (B) litter) She isn't a picky eater, she's just mannerly.  Diamond is-was a little quieter than her rambunctious sisters but she takes a throne, not a back seat.  Now, at 9 weeks, Diamond is trying (unsuccessfully) to dominate her sisters.  Knowing she is a little princess, she commands them to submit.  They don't.  Ah such are the problems of royalty.

The next two girl puppies are like little twins so for picture-taking, we just decided to call them by numbers right now.  Actually, all three girls are called "Sweetie girls" and they don't care.  There is no preference indicated, they are just Little One and Two-Two for picture purposes.  Little One did turn to look at the camera.  Good girl! She's shown at right in updated profile shot at 9 wks.

female sold - These two face photos were taken at 9 weeks and you can see, there has been very little change.  It is still hard to tell Bon Bon (head shot left, updated body profile on right) who is actually the same size as Bon Bon, apart.  We have to pick them up to look closely at faces.  Both have the same inquisitive expression, same jet black sparkling eyes.

When you look at the two face photos, you can see that Belle a blacker face and Bon Bon, named by Diane Freeman, her new owner, has her ears further up on her head but that changes almost daily.

You can see why it is hard to tell them apart!  They are so much alike in their personalities, even that doesn't help.  They both beg to be picked up but when they look up at me I can see that Bon Bon has a tiny little blaze whereas Belle (below) has a solid black face.  All five are at this point, lovely show prospects.

female sold Belle Of The Ball at left, side profile above right, at 9 weeks, went to Marie Warniaha, who loves her head, eyes and expression and that's important because that is what we all look at a thousand times a day.  To me, it is the "headpiece" that makes an outstanding Toy Fox Terrier.  Structure and soundness are important but it's the head and what's in it that makes a Toy Fox Terrier so unique.

This boy is a typical four-months old O'BJ puppy.  The ideal Toy Fox Terrier head has equal proportions and parallel planes which means in profile the top of muzzle is at the same angle as the topskull (the part from eyes to back head).  A flat topskull is demanded, with no hint of Chihuahua roundness.  The Toy Fox Terrier should have a strong, well developed underjaw (see his strong chin?) with large "terrier teeth" and open nostrils.  Pet puppy or show puppy, most or all of these characteristics should be present.

Most toy breeds couldn't care less about catching a mouse but please remember, the Toy Fox Terrier is in the UKC Terrier group which was the first and primary registry for the breed.  He's there because he is first and foremost, a Terrier in a Toy dog body.  That makes him an ideal apartment pet and lap dog, but he should still be constructed like a sturdy, capable fox terrier!  We must not lose the strong mouth, jaw, and teeth that are the hallmark of a working terrier.  It's sad that so many toy breeds have such bad teeth (before they fall out) and are prone to jaw and skull deformities.  We breed for a "terrier mouth" capable of gnawing a raw knuckle bone!

I'll update this page later but today, the sun is shining and me and the dogs are going out to play!
