Toy Poxer

Although the Toy Poxer has been around for over a decade, they do not yet have a recognized history. Therefore, you should look at the backgrounds of the Pug and the Toy Fox Terrier. The Pug is an ancient Chinese breed that was revered from the beginning as a royal pet of Chinese Emperors. They are thought to have originated before 300 B.C. and were guarded by soldiers to prevent theft since only royalty was allowed to own them. These dogs, believed to be related to the Tibetan Mastiff, made it to Europe on Dutch trader ships in the 16th century and soon began to be known by other names such as Doguillos in Spain, Calins in France, and Mops in Germany. The Pug was brought to England in the late 19th century when the British soldiers invaded the Chinese Imperial Palace. They became popular and were seen on paintings, statues, and postcards in the Victorian Era. After the Civil War, they were brought to America and accepted by the American Kennel Club in 1885. The Toy Fox Terrier is a tiny American breed that was developed in the 1900s as a ratter and fox hunter. This breed was made by mixing the Smooth Fox Terrier with other small dogs such as Chihuahuas, Miniature Pinschers, and Manchester Terriers. The breeders got the idea after seeing how well runts of the litters were at hunting. By creating a smaller version of the Smooth Fox Terrier, hunters were able to get their dogs to flush smaller prey from their dens easier. However, circus performers found them to be excellent acrobats and performers so they became well-known in the ring in the early 1900s as well. The Toy Fox Terrier has also been on several television commercials and ranks 116th most common dog breed in the AKC, where it has been a member since 2003.
