The Toy Fox Terrier is an American breed descending from the first registered Smooth Fox Terrier, named 'Foiler'. Fox Terriers were bred for fox bolting (chasing foxes out into the open where they could be attacked by larger dogs); white was preferred to distinguish the dogs from foxes at night. Toy Fox Terriers were bred from their larger cousins by American farmers who favored the shorter variety for chasing rodents.
