Toy Foxy Rat Terrier

Since the Troxy Terrier hasn't been around long enough to develop a well-detailed origin story, we need to take a look at the parent breeds to learn more about why he may have been created. Most of the time, hybrid breeds are brought about because there are individuals who like specific parts of one breed and want to combine them with preferred traits in a similar breed. By taking a look at the histories of the Toy Fox Terrier and the American Rat Terrier, we can see which traits were most desirable in each breed and why they may have been combined to create the Troxy Terrier. To start, the Rat Terrier originated in the United States and was used primarily as a farm dog whose job was to, you guessed it, catch rats. He was also responsible for catching any other small vermin that made their way onto the farm's property and his loving personality made him an excellent family companion as well. Most likely descended from a combination of the Beagle, Whippet, and Greyhound, the Rat Terrier is extremely athletic and has an amazing nose that helps his hunting skills exponentially. While he was popular for quite some time as a farm dog, once more and more people began leaving the country side for the excitement of the city, the Rat Terrier was no longer quite as important; or needed. Despite this decline in popularity, the Rat Terrier wasn't ready to fade from the spotlight entirely. In 1999 he was accepted into the United Kennel Club. Although he isn't officially part of the American Kennel Club just yet, the Rat Terrier is much loved all throughout the U.S. as a faithful companion and work animal. The Toy Fox Terrier is another American dog that started out as a farm hand, whose main purpose was to catch and kill the small vermin that made their way onto the property. His ancestry consists of quite a few toy breeds such as the Chihuahua and the Manchester Terrier with later breeding of the Smooth Fox Terrier exclusively. With such a background, the Toy Fox Terrier is a proud and very active breed, who loves to play and work all day. He was accepted into the United Kennel Club in the year 1936, but the Toy Fox Terrier only just recently became part of the American Kennel Club, starting in the year 2003. Ever since then, he has left his days of exclusive farm work behind, and is most commonly seen as a family pet and companion, as well as a show dog.
