Fox Terrier puppy and toy dog information
He Fox Terrier is a happy little dog, full of energy for life. She likes to hunt small vermin and is quite easy to train. She can take in other dogs and larger pets, especially if she is well socialized as a youngster. She is a little fragile due to her small size, so older, calmer children do best with her. As a reminder, never leave a child unattended with a puppy or dog.
Approximate adult size
The approximate size of an adult (two years or older) Toy Fox Terrier is 10 inches at the withers (the highest point of the shoulder) and 3.5 to 7 pounds.
Special health considerations
Most dog breeds have certain hereditary health issues associated with that particular breed and the Fox Terrier is no exception. Although considered a very hardy breed, watch out for legg clave perthes and stifl. They can also cause allergies to wheat, corn and beets. This list of diseases is an informative guide only.

She should visit the vet several times in the first year for vaccinations, revaccinations and check-ups. Then, as an adult, she should visit the vet every year for shots and checkups. As she gets older, six years and older, she should visit the vet twice a year for check-ups and vaccinations. I remember; avoid feeding your dog sweets.
Haircut

Her teeth should be brushed at least twice a week with a toothpaste and toothbrush designed for dogs.
