JUDGING THE TOY FOX TERRIER

 

Top Toy Fox Terrier Breeders Explain...

What is the single most important breed feature judges should consider when judging the Toy Fox Terrier?

 

Ears! The large erect “V” shaped ears distinguish this breed from other toy breeds. The Toy Fox Terrier’s ears should be set high on the head (and they are always listening).

 

...the most common breed fault judges should note before awarding ribbons?

 

That is lack of balance. Body parts that don’t mesh correctly, fronts and rears that don’t balance each other and result in poor toplines and carriage. George Ward had a response to this, short and sweet, something to the effect that what constitutes structural failure in dogs exhibits itself in poor movement.

What is the single most important breed feature judges should consider when judging the Toy Fox Terrier?

 

The up-on-leg square “box” profile is the first thing a judge sees. If the box is a rectangle instead of a square, is means the back is too long.  If the tail is low-set, it will look like that corner of the “box” got dented. <smile>

 

...the most common breed fault judges should note before awarding ribbons?

 

Weaving, crossing over, toeing in (front or rear) is a common fault seen on the down and back; lack of extension and rear drive on the go-around. The Toy Fox Terrier is first a terrier (UKC Terrier Group) and secondly, he's a toy breed with all of the bonding attributes of toy dogs.
