Fox Terrier
The Fox Terrier or foxy is actually two different breeds of dog, the Smooth Fox Terrier and the Wire Fox Terrier, that were independently bred in England in the mid-19th century. The two breeds are very similiar, with the only major difference being the coats. The Smooth Fox Terrier has a smooth, flat, but hard and dense coat, whereas the Wire Fox Terrier coat should appear broken with a dense wiry texture. There is also a Toy Fox Terrier.
The breeds were estabished to assist in Fox Hunting. Prior to their introduction, a hunt would be ruined as soon as the fox made it to its hole. With a few Fox Terriers in the party this was no longer a problem. If the fox made it to ground, the terrier would be sent in after it. This led to the major requirements for a Fox Terrier. Firstly, it had to have the stamina to run with the Foxhounds. Secondly, it had to be small enough to follow a fox down its lair. And thirdly, it had to be tough, as a cornered fox was likely to turn and try to fight off a terrier, so a foxy had to be able to stand up to it.
Now-a-days, however, they are rarely used for hunting and are more used as pets because of their small size.
Preferably add separate breed pages for each terrier. See WikiProject Dog breeds for suggestions.
