These are my lads.
Smooth haired Fox Terriers.
As a breed they first started appearing in the late 1700s. There is a portrait of one, named "Pitch".
By the 1850s they were well known and the first recognized examples of the breed known today were documented. "Old Jock" was probably the best known.
They were incredibly popular in their time but are now, unfortunately, considered an endangered breed.
They are incredibly strong for their size, very lively and have a high prey drive. Foxes, badgers, rabbits ~ anything that would seek an underground place to lay up would set them going. Their build was perfect for getting underground and bringing the prey up. They are friendly fellows, fearless, athletic and wonderful friends.
I love them to bits.
