The
Smooth Fox Terriers are an energetic, inquisitive, playful breed who love
to run, chase and explore. They are very friendly and get along well with
children. However, a Smooth Fox Terrier may try to dominate other dogs and
will treat other small pets in the same fashion it would a fox! This breed,
being a terrier, loves to dig and bark when they need to. They are alert and
determined, ready to be a great watchdog. The Smooth Fox Terrier is affectionate,
trustworthy and eager. They remain an enthusiastic little dog with longer
legs than the average terrier. They have mostly white bodies, of short and
leanly muscular build. They often have spots of brown and black, especially
on the face. Their drop button ears and terrier build attract onlookers even
outside the show ring. This breed has a long face that is more slender than
the Jack Russell Terrier, which it resembles. Similar to the Wire Fox Terrier
except for their coat, the Smooth Fox Terrier is one of the oldest of the
terrier breeds who were bred to dig down into burrow to flush out foxes or
catch small animals. Easy dogs to live with, they enjoy being a part of the
family.
