SMOOTH FOX TERRIER

History - The fox terrier, both the smooth and wirehaired, was developed in England in the 18th century for bolting or driving out foxes from their dens.  These fearless hunters would dig, crawl, and squirm their way into a fox hole and attack unrelentingly until the fox bolted.

Temperament - The popular fox terrier is lively and fun-loving, gets along with respecful children over about five years old, and can live in the city or the country. Other animals can be a problem.  For instance, fox terriers may chase cats that are not family members.  Obedience training and socialization must begin early.  Fox terriers can be distracted easily when excited by other animals or peripheral events, so firm and consistent handling is required. Without training, they may also develop some behavioral problems, such as excessive barking, hole digging, or possessiveness with their toys or food bowls. Aggressive games, such as tug-o-war, should not be played with these dogs.

Upkeep - The smooth only needs a short brushing once a week. Fox terriers are extremely energetic and need daily exercise.

Size - height 14-15 inches, weight 15-19 pounds.
