This is a small breed of dog from the terrier type. The Toy Fox Terrier is directly descended from the larger Fox Terrier but considered a separate breed. Toy Fox Terriers are small dogs with a muscular and athletic appearance. Notable characteristic traits include a short glossy and predominantly white coat, coupled with a predominantly solid head, and a short, high-set tail.
The shapes of the breed is elegant and small, with deemed and graceful V-shaped ears and large, deep, black eyes. The tail of the Toy Fox Terrier is able to be short and straight, and breeders often shorten the tail a few days after birth by clipping it about three-fifth of the way from the tip (at the third or fourth joint). The skin is with short hair, and it is fine, glossy coat. The colors may be black with areas of tan and little white. There are two other variants, one with ‘chocolate’ replacing the black in areas (the UKC does not allow this variant to be shown), and another which is all white and tan with no black at all.
These variants are given the names ‘Tri-Color’, ‘Chocolate’, and ‘Tan and White’, respectively. The little doggy is with height around 8.5–11.5 inches at the shoulder (21.5–29.2 cm) and its weight is from 3.5-9 pounds. They are in many ways similar to the Miniature Fox Terrier. Toy Fox Terriers, like many active and intelligent breeds, can learn to respond to a number of words. Toy Fox Terriers were used commonly in circus shows by clowns, and they are said to make great companions for owners with a good sense of humor.
