One of the oldest recognized terrier breeds, the Smooth Fox Terrier was developed in England during the 18th century primarily for bolting foxes from their dens during mounted hunts, with roots in smooth-coated black-and-tan working terriers of the era. The breed is distinguished by its predominantly white, short, flat coat with black and tan markings, its V-shaped folded ears, and its athletic, balanced build conveying speed and endurance. Lively and fearless with a quick, inquisitive nature, the Smooth Fox Terrier makes an energetic companion that thrives with regular exercise and mental stimulation.
