History: The Toy Fox Terrier was developed in America in the 1930's.
As with a lot of the Terrier family it was first used as a working dog to hunt rats and mice for the farmers.
This breed is a descendant from the Smooth Fox Terrier, which was crossed with toy breeds such as the Miniature Pinscher, Italian Greyhound, Chihuahua, and the Manchester.
This was done to miniaturize the dog, to the dog we see today.
There is another group that believes the Toy Fox has only come from selective breeding of the smallest Smooth Fox Terrier to miniaturize this line of dog and that no other dog breeds were used.
The Toy Fox Terrier was recognized by the UKC in 1936 and then by the AKC in 2000.
