The TFT is a smart compact athletic little dog. In addition, he is a good looking dog in a small package! A head with correct proportion and angles, combined with the Toy Fox Terrier’s well balanced body and short, well set tail makes him a very handsome pet for any family. He is quick to learn, driven to hunt, and most of all, a very loyal little dog with the heart of a lion. The Toy Fox Terrier has the temperament of a comic and the cleanliness of a cat. Very little grooming is needed, just an occasional bath, nail trim and like all small breeds, a teeth cleaning. The TFT is not hyper but loves to play and is a self-exerciser. Health issues are minimal although like in any toy breed, patellas can be an issue. Any good breeder will breed away from this, insisting on strong muscular condition. CHG can be controlled by not breeding carrier to carrier and by testing what breeding stock you may have. Movement, Structure, and Temperament should always come first when judging the Toy Fox Terrier. Color is the bonus!

There’s just nothing he isn’t good at! He’s the perfect alarm dog that can’t be conned or silenced until you say it’s okay. Just the right size to fit neatly in the shopping cart at home improvement centers! 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! He adores well-mannered children and will entertain them for hours. This breed 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, they have a contagious zest for life that can’t help but make you feel good! Well muscled, not delicate, he represents over fifty years of selection for hardiness and ability. He’s a lady’s lap dog but clean racy lines, high gloss finish, low maintenance and top acceleration make him easy to drive – and to love. Speaking of which, the TFT combines the absolute devotion of the toy dog with the intensity and quickness of a working terrier. With an Einstein IQ and Red Skelton’s bag of tricks, the Toy Fox Terrier could be your greatest gift to yourself.

We present “Ms. Jane” because she is indeed the perfect example of impeccable temperament, character, and intelligence - and because we’ll never have another one as “good” as her!
