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
