About the Toy Fox Terrier
The Toy Fox Terrier, also known as the American Toy Terrier or Amertoy, is a small but spirited breed that packs all the tenacity and intelligence of a terrier into a compact, elegant body. Developed in the United States by breeding Smooth Fox Terriers with smaller toy breeds including Chihuahuas and Italian Greyhounds, the Toy Fox Terrier stands just 8 to 11 inches tall but carries itself with confidence and athletic grace.
