Standing boldly, Fox Terriers must be perfectly balanced. The dark eyes are full of spirit and are set midway between the flat moderately narrow skull and the powerful wedge shaped muzzle. The V shaped ears are high set with the tips falling forward. The clean muscular neck flows into sloping shoulders and the short, straight back finishes with a customary docked tail that is carried erect. Straight forelegs and well angulated hindquarters must be muscular and the small round feet must be compact.
CHARACTERISTICS AND CARE
Lively and active, as their name denotes, Fox Terriers were originally bred to go to ground after foxes. Clean by nature, they have readily been able to adapt to domestic life, and being intelligent they are easily trained. At times noisy, they are known to voice their protests if left out in a yard alone or tied up. The smooth coated variety needs only minimum coat care, but the wire coated variety needs to be stripped 3 or 4 times a year to be presentable.
HISTORY
From the late 18th century, Fox Terriers have been a distinctive breed having a definite job in the hunting field. Carried in boxes or bags by the horsemen, once the hounds had driven the foxes into their burrows, these terriers were released and their job was to force the fox from -its lair. Being extremely game, these little dogs were quite prepared to attack foxes twice their size. The breed is believed to have evolved from the old Black and Tan working terrier and later, in order to see the dogs better in the fields, crosses were made with dogs showing more white on them like the Bull Terrier and Beagle. Smooth and wirehaired varieties were crossed and produced both types in litters - a practice which has been discontinued today.

Colour: Most popular isTricolour (black/tan/white) and Pied (fawn/white). Other recognised hound colours also may be seen in the breed.
Coat: Short, dense and glossy.
Gait: Long, free and easy with powerful hind propulsion.
These clean cut energetic breeds are built for stamina. The skulls should be broad with a powerful square muzzle and broad pendant ears. The neck must be long enough for the hound to reach the ground to scent while galloping. The chest must have plenty of room for heart and lungs and the loin should be powerful. Their legs are strong and very powerful with tight round feet. The tail - called the ‘stern’ in scent hounds - is set on at the level of the back and carried fairly high.
CHARACTERISTICS AND CARE
Foxhounds and Harriers are often found living in packs, and for the purpose of hunting are often trained to work as a ‘couple’. Their basic instincts are to put their noses down to scent and follow a trail. Although they are friendly and gentle, being rather noisy does not render them as particularly good house dogs in towns, however, in the country, they are ideal companions and useful in getting rid of foxes and hares. There is nothing better they love than a long run.
HISTORY
A hunting dog similar to the Foxhound and Harrier as we know them today, existed in Egypt centuries before Christ. These dogs no doubt made their way to Europe during the Roman invasions, it is believed their lines were crossed with the early bloodhounds or St. Huberts as they were then known.
Ultimately they arrived in Britain with the Norman invasions in the 11th century, the larger type were used for stag and fox hunting while the smaller variety were used for hare hunting (hence the name Harrier). In order to safeguard farms from the destruction created by foxes, these hounds were an extremely valuable asset in the days before poisoning became the method to eradicate these pests. 

GENERAL APPEARANCE
Shoulder height: Approx. 30cm (12”).
Colour: Brindle, fawn or pied i.e.brindle/white with white predominating.
Coat: Fine, smooth, lustrous, short and close.
Gait: Free flowing with all legs moving effortlessly. 
These short haired sturdily built compact dogs have snub nosed comical faces which are set off by their distinctive bat shaped ears. The head has a large domed forehead, rounded cheeks and a shorter square muzzle with an undershot jaw. The dark eyes are set wide apart, and the high set erect ‘bat’ ears are carried upright and parallel. The thick neck runs into a back with broad shoulders and a narrower loin. The forelegs are wide due to the rounded chest. The undocked short tail is set low and is either straight or kinked. 
CHARACTERISTICS AND CARE
These dogs were originally bred for companionship, and to this end, they have been successful. They are extremely intelligent, never boisterous or noisy, and as they require little exercise, they make good pets for the elderly. In view of the narrow pelvis and broad head and chest, puppies sometimes are born by caesarean section. Their short coat requires little care.
HISTORY
Once known as the Boule-Douge Francais, it is fair to surmise that this breed evolved from a miniature British Bulldog - a breed that never gained popularity. When the lace makers of Nottingham migrated to France, they took a number of these miniatures with them. Some were crossed with a local terrier strain aimed at retaining the Bulldog pugnaciousness and adding the terrier tenacity needed for a good ratter. The resultant breed had both erect bat ears and the Bulldog’s rose shaped ears. Ultimately, as the breed became established, only those with the bat ears were recognized.
