Toy Fox Terrier
The Toy Fox Terrier is a compact American breed that blends terrier boldness with toy-dog charm. Originally developed from small Smooth Fox Terriers and other toy breeds, they were prized as farm ratters and later became famous circus performers. They are bright, funny, and deeply devoted companions who stay athletic and eager for action despite their tiny size.
