A little about the Miniature Fox Terrier

 

This breed has long been known for their ruthless ability to attack rodent pest species, and their capacity to squeeze in and out of tight spaces. Today the Miniature Fox Terrier is a loving, playful, and keen companion to have at home. He will enjoy socialising and understanding his place in the family hierarchy. They fit in well with children and other pets, though should not be left alone with smaller pets particularly guinea pigs or mice.
