The Smooth Fox Terrier, also known as the ‘gentleman of the terrier world, is a lively, gregarious terrier with a devil-may-care attitude, originally developed for Britain’s traditional foxhunts. Best suited for a family with an active lifestyle, the smooth fox terrier is friendly, energetic, and outgoing and is a terrific companion for children as the dog never tires of playing.

Our fox terrier is adorable 😍
His name is Joey
Our family had a smooth fox terrier, from a pup. We had three young boys so they were a perfect match.
Our foxy developed a heart problem at 161/2 yrs old. Our vet suggested seeing a specialist vet at a sydney uni. They had done ops on big dogs with heart problems inserting a pacemaker. They offered this for our dog and he was the very first small dog to be done in australia.
It was a wonderful success and we were so grateful. He lived another two years and fell asleep at 18yrs old. 🙂💖👏
Smooth Fox Terriers Rule.
Great breed, wish they we're more popular.
Can confirm there is no stopping my girl from chasing something if she wants to chase it. Love her but dam she's got a lot energy 😅
They weight more than 18 lbs
I had a wire Fox, best dog ever
I have a smooth collie. I just heard of this breed last week. They look like mini smooth collies! But, different brains because they’re terriers; which I don’t have experience with. I’m very interested in this breed but maybe in the future..?
We've had 2 smooth fox terriers. Our last one passed away at 14 and we adopted a 1 year old a few months later. I will admit that I have had dogs my whole life, mostly large dogs, and before I moved in with my partner and his sft, I would have said I didn't like terriers. So many terriers you see are happy and poorly behaved, but I now recognize that as a sign of a bored dog who isn't getting his needs met. Now that I've lived with a few, I just love them. It's true that they're stubborn and don't listen as well as most larger breeds, but you have to consider what they were bred for. They were bred to be independent problem solving hunters, not obedient companions. They are definitely the smartest dogs I've ever spent time with. Our current sft can open zippers and if you put something he wants up high but where he can see it, he'll throw things at it until he knocks it down. I tried buying him a treat puzzle that said it was intermediate to difficult, skipping the recommended easy beginner and easy to intermediate ones, and he completely solved it in less than 2 minutes. Both of these dogs were so silly and made us laugh daily, and have been the most loyal loving family pets you could ask for. Our last one didn't care for strangers much, but our current over never met a person he didn't like. They're just the best. But don't get one if you can't commit to the daily exercise requirements. It's really not optional if you want a well behaved pet instead a neurotic bored terrier bent on destruction. I believe this is the mistake too many people make in getting a terrier and it's what has given them a bad rep. They were bred to be extremely active hunters and being a house pet with little to no exercise and mental stimulation is so bad for them.
They are all I know. I now have my sixth and while each is different they also are much alike. Can’t count number of people who stop and ask me what breed she is. So many ask if she is a Jack Russell!
Inches, pounds 😅
I miss my Scarlet: a smooth fox terrier I had for 13 1/2 years who died at 14 1/2. Miss you Scarlet …
It's easy to see that Nipper (the RCA / HMV) dog is not a pedigree smooth fox terrier. Possibly a Jack Russel, but most likely a terrier mix.
