The smooth fox terrier , also known as the smooth fox terrier and the short-haired fox terrier , originated in The United Kingdom and originated in the 19th century.
Why has the flat-haired fox terrier suddenly become popular with dog people around the world in recent years? First of all, the flat-haired fox terrier is small, the adult dog weighs only about 16 pounds, and the hair is short and easy to take care of. Secondly, the Flat Haired Fox Terrier is child-friendly and is ideal for small family companion dogs. Third, with the acceleration of urbanization, medium and large dogs will have some inconveniences in urban life, which has also promoted more small dog breeds to be accepted by the city.
The white hair on the flat-haired fox terrier is specially bred, in order to deal with foxes, but also for self-protection. Because when terriers crawl out of the pit, they are often covered in mud, so some unfortunate terriers will be mistaken for prey such as foxes by their hunting partners, some large hunting dogs, and will be attacked. To avoid this confusion, breeders breed the terrier with the foxhound, resulting in a white coat. In 1876, after the flat-haired fox terrier was established as an independent breed standard, it was greatly welcomed in Europe, especially in Northern Europe, Sweden. In recent years, China's families raising flat hair fox terriers have gradually increased, and some foreign excellent pedigree flat hair fox terriers will be introduced to China more and more.
