Breed Info

Smooth Fox Terrier

Country of Origin

The Smooth Fox Terrier’s heritage is mostly unknown. The first evidence of its existence comes from a painted portrait of a Smooth Fox Terrier in 1790. By some theories, the Smooth Fox Terrier and the Wire Fox Terrier are variations of the same breed (they were interbred until the 1980’s); the other possibility is that the Smooth Fox Terrier descends from the Smooth Black and Tan Terrier, Beagle, and Bull Terrier while the Wire Fox Terrier descends from the Rough Black and Tan Terrier. The Smooth Fox Terrier was a popular breed for fox bolting (chasing foxes out into the open where they could be attacked by larger dogs); white was preferred to distinguish the dogs from foxes at night. The Smooth Fox Terrier was one of the earliest show dogs, recognized as a single breed along with the Wire Fox Terrier in 1885 by the American Kennel Club and accepted as a distinct breed a century later. Many popular Terrier breeds descend from the Smooth Fox Terrier. Famous Smooth Fox Terriers include Skip from the book ‘My Dog Skip’ (apocryphally portrayed by a Jack Russell Terrier in the film), and Sir Aurel Stein’s six Smooth Fox Terrier companions, all named Dash, who accompanied him on his spectacular adventures across the globe from 1896 to 1950.

Size

The Smooth Fox Terrier has a shoulder height of 33-41 cm (13-16 in) and weighs 7-8 kg (15-19 lbs). It has a distinctive tapered muzzle, small dark eyes, and highly set ‘V’-shaped ears which fold forward. Smooth Fox Terriers have muscular, well-proportioned bodies with a highly set, mostly straight tail and small, round feet.

Coat

The Smooth Fox Terrier has a short, smooth, hard and dense coat. The coat is predominantly white with possible black and/or tan markings. Smooth Fox Terriers have a solid or half-and-half colored face with possible markings or blaze, or color on the eyes and/or ears only. The Smooth Fox Terrier sheds a considerable amount (substantially more than the Wire Fox Terrier).

Character

The Smooth Fox Terrier is very loyal and affectionate. It is playful, energetic and exuberant, with an abundance of courage. Smooth Fox Terriers make excellent pets, but if ignored or unexercised they will bark, dig, chew furniture, and stage escape attempts. The Smooth Fox Terrier is very loyal and affectionate.
