Fox Terriers are smooth-coated dogs that are known for their energy, activity, and love of play. They have a compact build with a short and smooth coat that can be any color including black, white, red and brown.
Fox Terriers were bred in England at the end of the 18th century to hunt small animals and birds. They have high stamina and agility, making them great companions for active people. These dogs are also known for their friendly nature and loyalty to their owners.
Despite their small size, Fox Terriers can be quite vocal, especially when they are playing. They can also be a bit stubborn, so they require a firm and confident leader. But overall, these dogs are great companions and great pets for families with children.
