Fox Terrier

The Fox Terrier is a breed of dog that originated in England in the 18th century. The breed was developed for fox hunting and was prized for its ability to chase foxes out of their dens. There are two types of Fox Terriers: the Smooth Fox Terrier and the Wire Fox Terrier. The Smooth Fox Terrier has a short, smooth coat, while the Wire Fox Terrier has a longer, wiry coat. Famous owners of Fox Terriers include former U.S. president Theodore Roosevelt, who owned a Smooth Fox Terrier named Skip. The breed has also been recognized by various kennel clubs, including the American Kennel Club and the United Kennel Club. They are popular in dog shows and have also been used in various dog sports, including obedience, agility, and tracking. Fox Terriers are known for their energy, intelligence, and playful personalities. They make great family pets, but they require regular exercise and mental stimulation to keep them happy and healthy. They are also known for their strong hunting instincts, so they may not be the best choice for households with small pets. Overall, the Fox Terrier is a lively and loyal companion that has won the hearts of many dog lovers over the years.
