Smooth Fox Terrier Puppies

The Smooth Fox Terrier is a lively and spirited breed that has its roots in England, where it was originally developed for hunting foxes. With their compact and muscular build, these medium-sized dogs command attention with their playful demeanor and endearing charm. They thrive in family settings, making them a delightful fit for active households with children. Their affable nature also means they are generally good with other dogs, though they may need a little extra caution when interacting with cats.

With a fairly undocumented history, the dog can still be traced back to the 18th century. An early presentation of the dog comes from a painting by Colonel Thornton, who sort to create a portrait of his dog Pitch, this portrait was one of the first documented evidence of a Smooth Fox Terrier. By the Mid-19th century the Smooth Fox Terrier began to appear in circus shows and in 1885, the American Kennel Club recognized the Smooth Fox Terrier as distinct from the wire fox terrier as the two were intertwined and were referred to as the same breed before their ultimate separation. Today, the majority of the Smooth Fox Terrier can be traced back to several famous wire fox terriers.

There is a lot that can be expected from the Smooth Fox Terrier in terms of behavior. For starters, they jump around at every playful opportunity that presents itself, this happens most especially when there are kids around. As much as the dog is most enthusiastic and cheerful, they are also very bold and brave but can easily become a bully if they sense negligence on the part of their owners. Fiercely devoted and loyal, the high energy breed is intelligent and loves to learn new tricks.

Outgoing, friendly and energetic, the lifestyle of the Smooth Fox Terriers is perfectly suited for anyone whose way of living is very active. They are also perfect companions for kids as they never get tired of playing games. However, as long as you keep them well-exercised, the dogs can stay in an apartment.

Most dogs love their daily walk, this is a habit that should be instilled in the Smooth Fox Terrier. This helps him to burn a lot of excess energy. Frequent exercise is a must with this dog, when it has too much energy it might begin to behave badly. The dog also loves to hunt so using a Frisbee or playing Fetch would help to tame this part of him, that is if you don’t enjoy hunting as a sport but if you do, you can carry him along, he serves as one of the best hunting companions. Other exercises you can engage him in include, jogs, swimming, races whatever would ensure the depletion of his energy level.

If you don’t find excessive shedding an issue then you would love how low maintenance this breed is. All that is required to make its coat good and clean is a pair of scissors or clippers. The hair of a Smooth Fox Terriers body grows out evenly across its entire body so you wouldn’t find fluffy tails or rough collars here. It is advised to brush its coat daily to minimize shedding.

Another thing to take into account is a well-trimmed nails which can be done once every month. Also, ensure that you clean the hair between his footpad. Maintaining oral hygiene is a necessity, although the terrier isn’t vulnerable to dental problems it’s just important to brush his teeth regularly.
