fox terriers
Small hunting hounds
Fox terriers are small, energetic dogs originally bred in England to flush foxes from their dens during hunts.
The breed comes in two varieties: smooth-coated and wire-haired.
They're known for their alertness, intelligence, and feisty temperament—traits that made them effective hunters but can make them challenging pets: Our fox terrier won't stop barking at squirrels.
