Swizzlestick Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Excuse my ignorance, I wasn't aware they are a recognised breed. I always thought they were a "type" of dog. :confused: Learn something new every day as they say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rozzie Posted August 23, 2011 Author Share Posted August 23, 2011 I have a registered Mini Foxy and was interested in showing her, so needed details for shows. She won lots of puppy classes.:D And yes, they are awesome little dogs. Shame the ANKC doesn't recognise them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRADA68 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Bloody awesome little dogs that are loyal and devoted to their owners. Nothing beats a mini foxie as for showing there are couple of shows in NSW usually in Sydney but if you check the website I am sure they can give you more information. The shows are fun and enjoyable and where else are you going to meet other like minded people who love the breed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4Kelpies Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 It's called the Tenterfield Terrier. From the MFCA website FAQ: "What are the differences between the Miniature Fox Terrier and the Tenterfield Terrier?" There are clear differences in the breed standards of the two breeds and an individual dog cannot match to both of these breed standards. The principal differences are in the shape of the feet (a difference which can affect the function of the dog) and in the colours that are allowed in each of these breeds, both in the coat markings and the nose. FEET The then Tenterfield Terrier Club of Australia (TTCA) authorised the shape of the feet of the Tenterfield Terrier as "round" in shape in January 1999, in consultation with the Australian National Kennel Council (ANKC) and round shaped feet became a permanent feature of the Tenterfield Terrier. Terriers with round shaped feet are strong legged terriers which traditionally were required to dig, to flush animals out of earth and the feet and legs must be of strong bone for this purpose. Round shaped feet on well bred Jack Russell Terriers and Tenterfield Terriers are distinctly different to the narrow, oval shaped feet of the Miniature Fox Terrier. The oval shaped foot (also known as a "semi-hare" foot) of the Miniature Fox Terrier is important and is directly related to the function of the dog. The foot and the pastern - the area immediately above the foot which is akin to a wrist in a human - is narrow, is highly articulate and flexible, and is linked to speed and function. The oval footed Miniature Fox Terriers are lightweight ratter that pounce on their prey with great speed and accuracy, can leap and turn delicately and accurately to seize their prey. Their narrow flexible pasterns allow them to groom their face and ears delicately, in a cat-like manner, and also to scratch vermin out of nooks and crevices, but not to deeply into the earth. Only three other breeds of terrier in the world appear to have the oval (semi-hare) shaped foot - the English Toy Terrier, the Manchester Terrier and the Toy Fox Terrier, and this feature needs to be preserved in the Miniature Fox Terrier. COLOUR. The colours in the skin and hair of a dog can relate to the genetic inheritance of the dog. If non-standard colours are present this can be an indication that other breeds of dogs may have been used in the bloodlines of this dog. Miniature Fox Terriers can be registered only in three (3) colour combinations: a) black/white, b) tan/white, c) black/tan/white. The body of the dog should be predominantly white. Tenterfield Terriers also have these colour combinations but in addition, liver coloured markings and brindle markings are allowed. Brindle and liver coloured markings are not acceptable for registration with the Mini Foxie Club of Australia as they are known to be colours of other breeds. Other colours such as blue or fawn are also not allowed. The dog must be predominantly white on the body - a full coloured coat can also be an indication of other breeds in the background. If the colours of other breeds were to be allowed to creep into the gene pool of purebred Miniature Fox Terriers, there is a risk that other traits of those other breeds would also be introduced and hence only the three original colour combinations of black, white and tan, are allowed. NOSE. Miniature Fox Terriers have black coloured noses. Tenterfield Terriers are allowed to have liver coloured noses on dogs with liver coloured markings. Liver coloured noses are not permitted in registered Miniature Fox Terriers for the following reasons: a) a black nose has full pigment and therefore has good protection from the UV rays of the sun; b) it is thought that black noses have specific use relative to a dog's sense of smell and that strong pigment is important, although what exactly the pigment does is not clear. There are no benefits to the gene pool of Miniature Fox Terriers for liver coloured noses to be allowed in this breed and there is a risk of weakening some of the features in little dogs that are, by instinct, small hunting terriers of hardy disposition. __________________________________________________ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pie Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 They are very very similar The Tenterfield Terrier was ANKC recognised in 2002. Stud books for both breeds are still open last I heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
