Description
Dog Breed: Toy Fox Terrier (medium coat). This little boy is very sweet. He gets along fine with other dogs, but he is a people dog and he just wants to snuggle with his person. He is potty trained. He is a little timid outside a fenced area and seems to only want to go on walks with âhisâ person. He is fine exploring a little, but pulls back and wonât advance unless his person is ahead of him. I tried walking him with one of my dogs, but he would only go ~20 ft, then pull back and not advance, pulling back to go inside. When tethered in the front yard, he will explore a little, but heads back to the door within a few minutes. He is definitely an inside dog. Over the 3 days that Iâve had him, he ate very little kibble but ate all the topper. He likes some treats, but doesnât seem to be particularly motivated by them. When told to get off the chair/couch, he will comply, but sometimes growl quietly to let you know that heâs not happy. The same when heâs told to go into the xpen at night. No aggression, just letting you know that heâs not happy. He doesnât seem to like loud voices, e.g., when I call for one of my kids (or talking loudly to one in another room), he barks. He also seems to be afraid/intimidated by males, especially when they tower over him. He barks in warning, but calms down when they come down to his level. Overall, heâs a very good boy. I feel that he would be happiest in a home where he will be the only pet as he really only cares about people and would love to cuddle all the time.

Breed overview
Fox Terrier (Toy)
A.K.A.: Toy Fox Terrier, Amertoy
Overview:
The Fox Terrier (Toy), a delightful miniature version of its larger Fox Terrier cousins, originated in England and was bred primarily for companionship rather than vermin hunting. These charming dogs possess the classic lively and intelligent terrier spirit in a more compact package. Physically, they are small but sturdy, typically weighing between 3 to 7 pounds, with a sleek, short coat that can be white with black or tan markings. Their alert expression, perked ears, and elegant gait are instantly recognizable. Temperamentally, Toy Fox Terriers are known for being outgoing, affectionate, and surprisingly fearless. They thrive on human interaction and can be wonderful family pets for those who appreciate their energetic nature and require consistent, positive training. Their small size makes them particularly well-suited for apartment living, provided they receive adequate daily exercise and mental stimulation. While generally a robust breed, potential owners should be aware of a predisposition to certain health issues like patellar luxation and Legg-Calve-Perthes disease. With proper care and attention, the Toy Fox Terrier makes a loyal and engaging companion.
