Her Majesty Dogmad Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 (edited) I'm trying to help an English Toy Terrier find a home. She's going to need a specific kind of home. Poor little thing had a very bad start in life with a cruel home and is of a nervous disposition because of this so no children or homes with lots of visitors. She was returned to her breeder who is no longer operating. The current owner was unable to find rented for either her or her friend. I have found rescue for her companion (Min Pin) but will be trying to rehome them both until the deadline which is in a couple of weeks. English Toy Terriers are a rare breed, created by mixing a Manchester Terrier (like a mini Dobermann) with a Whippet. This little girl was debarked either by the breeder or her last home, not sure. She's never seen a cat as far as I know but I wouldn't mix this breed with cats or any other small animals (non canine). She's housetrained, loving and plays with toys etc, they are an active breed that needs daily exercise. This breed does apparently make for good agility dogs. I will only rehome as a second dog. She weighs about 5 kilos and has all vet work done. Edited June 5, 2013 by dogmad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chequeredblackdog Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Hope she finds a great home. They are a gorgeous breed. I know a little male who does agility and he is such a fabulous and quirky little dog, so dainty but full of spark! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Her Majesty Dogmad Posted June 5, 2013 Author Share Posted June 5, 2013 Yes, it might be an idea for me to contact the local agility clubs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juice Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 How cute! I assume they are vocal then if she has been debarked? I have never seen one before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they are a vocal breed, a bit like Iggies! Don't do well being left alone and so on. I would not rehome as an only dog or to someone who won't exercise as they can become badly behaved apparently! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loreley Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 (edited) Just checking - Are you assuming that she is no good with cats & other smalls? or has she been tested? Can you PM me please and we can discuss further. Edited June 6, 2013 by Loreley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salukifan Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 (edited) English Toy Terriers are a rare breed, created by mixing a Manchester Terrier (like a mini Dobermann) with a Whippet. Not sure who told you this but it's incorrect. The ETT has been a recognised breed for longer than the Whippet and was originally the smaller size and weight type of the Black and Tan Terrier before the breed was divided by size. The larger dogs were named Manchester Terriers and the smaller ones eventually became ETTs. Given that the Whippet is larger than both of the Terrier breeds, I doubt there is much Whippet in the ETT, if any. I'd say it is possible there is ETT in the Whippet!

Thank you HD - got the information from Wikipedia or one of those pages. When I discovered this girl was 3.5 kilos, I did wonder!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she's timid, she might find agility a bit overwhelming. Hopefully there's a fancier out there with room for another dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Her Majesty Dogmad Posted June 6, 2013 Author Share Posted June 6, 2013 I've had an email from the owner, she's only 3.5 kilos apparently, very tiny so probably not an agility dog. Anyhow, they've asked me to put rehoming on hold, I am not sure what's going on ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheilaheel02 Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Ive seen one compete in Agility and it's a terrific little dog. Of course it has probably had a much better start than this poor little mite. She's very cute though I hope the right option becomes available for her.

Kirislin Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 she's very cute. If I didn't have so many dogs I'd probably be a suitable home for her, but I am not in a position to take her on. Anyway, looks like it's on hold. I hope her situation sorts itself out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
