Living with a Toy Fox Terrier: What to Expect
The day-to-day reality of sharing your home with this small breed for the next 13-15 yrs - routine, grooming, money and temperament.
โก Daily routine
This is an active dog. The Toy Fox Terrier needs 1-2 hours of exercise daily - brisk walks, fetch or a jog - or the spare energy turns into barking and chewed furniture.

Shedding is minimal - your black clothes are mostly safe.
