holy grail 0 Posted October 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 You mean a TOY FOX TERRIER X mutt?Since there's no such thing as a "mini fox". no, i mean a Jack Russell X Mini Foxy. many people will dissagree with what you have just said. Quote Link to post
Ozzydogman 9 Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 Kate, the mini foxy is a little Australian farm dog that has been around for over a hundred years. Its never recieved formal recognition because its not a miniature of the Fox Terrier. The Australian mini foxy club changed the breeds name to Tenterfield Terrier so it could be officially ANKC recognised. But most people still call them mini foxies. It looks alot like the american Rat Terrier. And yes, they do work to ground. HG, take your time with him. Mine usually dont start checking dens until 14-16 months old. Give him lots of tails/dried skins, and take him for walks through the scrub so he can get used to being out. Quote Link to post

Ozzydogman 9 Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 i prefer a fresh tail/dried skin, but if your willing to give one up, then it wont hurt. I would only let him have it when your playing with him, as i dont think swallowing some of the tanned stuff is a good idea. Quote Link to post
