Fox Terrier

The breed

Fox Terriers are small to medium-sized dogs with a lean, athletic build and a distinctive alert expression. They are best known in two varieties: the Smooth Fox Terrier, with a short, glossy coat, and the Wire Fox Terrier, with a dense, crisp-textured coat. Common coloring is mostly white with black, tan, or black-and-tan markings. Their narrow heads, folded ears, and upright tails give them a lively, polished appearance.

These terriers are bright, energetic, and confident, with the bold spirit typical of working terriers. They are often playful, curious, and quick to notice activity around them. Fox Terriers can be very affectionate and entertaining with their families, while also showing an independent, determined streak. Their animated personality and sharp intelligence make them memorable companions.
