Brightspot Andradite More Information............... The Fox Terrier is an old breed and is certainly the reason for their hardiness. The Smooth Fox Terrier was known at the beginning of last century. The breed was first exhibited in 1862. He has always been popular because of his handsome symmetry and gentle nature. He makes an excellent pet and a good guard. His size is handy for urban , suburban or country living, his nature suited to all. He is an ideal companion for young people, families and older people. Like all dogs he appreciates his daily exercise, particularly if it includes a romp and a good game will a ball or toy to substitute for his natural instinct to work. His instinct is to chase small animals, including your chickens, guinea pigs or pet mice. Keep them in a secure safe cage away from your fox terrier. A fox terrier will grow up nicely with your pet cat if introduced as a puppy. If you are in a cane toad area it is important to lock your dog away at night when the poisonous toads are about during the summer months.
Care of a Fox Terrier A smooth fox terriers coat is very easy care, however, if you wish to show your dog you need to trim the britching, throat, tail and whiskers. This is by no means a time consuming task. A good rub with a rubber mitt or comb and a bath is all that's required every month or so to keep your pet foxy in good condition as long as he is free of fleas, worms and ticks. Regular treatment for these parasites, annual vaccinations and checkups at your vet is recommended as you would any other breed of dog.
Will a Fox Terrier suit you? The smooth Fox Terrier is not a dog that will try to dominate you or your family, he will accept his place and to make sure it is not upset in any way. He is a great companion to all the family, but like any pet he should not be left unattended with very young children who may hurt him. Socialization with other dogs is important from an early age as he may treat another dog as a threat to his family and become 'dog aggressive' if not taught any different.For this reason, it is a good idea to take your puppy to puppy obedience classes as soon as you can after immunization is complete at 12 weeks of age. Choosing the right puppy is important as you will have him for possibly 15 years or more. For more information contact us on the above phone number or email address.
