Can someone please explain the difference between a miniature fox terrier and 
the "ordinary" smooth foxy?

I adopted my little dog when he was 6.   His owners said he was a purebred 
miniature fox terrier.   He was born with one ear up and one down, a fault 
which means he can't be shown, although he was bred from.  I don't have papers 
to prove his breeding, and in any case I got him as a companion (not for 
showing or breeding) and had him neutered.

He is white with large patches of black on his body, some brown (and grey!) on 
his head.

People, who seem to be more clued up than I am, say "Oh, he's a miniature fox 
terrier isn't he?", or "is he part miniature foxy?"   What is the miniature?

Thank you.

Lyell
