Wikipedia

  1. Fox Terrier

    Fox Terriers are two different breeds of the terrier dog type: the Smooth Fox Terrier and the Wire Fox Terrier. Both of these breeds originated in the 19th century from a handful of dogs who are descended from earlier varieties of British terriers, and are related to other modern white terrier breeds. In addition, a number of breeds have diverged from these two main types of fox terrier and have been recognised separately, including the Jack Russell Terrier, Miniature Fox Terrier and Rat Terrier. The Wire and Smooth Fox Terriers share similar characteristics, the main differences being in the coat and markings. They have been successful in conformation shows, more prominently in America than their homeland.

    A fox terrier is a breed of small to medium-sized dog, originally bred for fox hunting. This breed has two main varieties: the smooth fox terrier, which has a short and smooth coat, and the wire fox terrier, which has a dense, wiry coat. Fox terriers are known for their energetic nature, keen intelligence, and bold personality. They have a strong prey drive, are very resilient, and make excellent family pets with proper training and socialization. They are easily recognized by their pointed ears, sharp muzzle, and typically white coat with patches of brown or black.
