The Smooth Fox Terrier is an energetic, playful terrier. Until 1984, the smooth and wirehaired fox terriers were considered different versions of the same breed. They are identical except for the coat.
History
The fox terrier was developed in England in the 1700s to hunt foxes. The dog would chase the fox and bark and snap at it until the hunter was able to come and make the kill. This terrier also made great ratters. The exact breeds used to develop the fox terrier are debated but many authorities feel that Bull Terriers, Beagles, Old English Terriers, black and tan terriers and Greyhounds were used. Initially, litters of fox terriers could contain both smooth and wirehaired versions. Eventually, they were bred until the lines were either smooth or wirehaired. In 1885, the fox terrier was accepted by the American Kennel club as a breed with two varieties. About 100 years later in 1984, the smooth and wirehaired fox terriers were separated into two different breeds.

The Smooth Fox Terrier is a small, compact terrier with a lively character. The head tapers and is narrow. The ears are small, fold forward, and create a V shape. The tail is typically docked. Both the smooth and wirehaired fox terriers are identical in appearance except for the coat. The coat of the Smooth Fox Terrier is dense, short and smooth.
