Foxterrier 22 Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Me and a friend on mine would like to get in contact with breeders in UK who are interested in selling Smooth haired Fox Terriers. Preferably a show champion with the correct size and look. I've been in contact with The Fox Terrier Club but it seemed like they where all anti-hunting and not very interested to sell dogs. In Norway u can split the Fox terriers race in two. There is the big showdogs up to 13-14 kgs not usuable for hunting at all and there is the hunting Fox terriers, small of size and very good earthdogs. Dont ask me why the breeders make them so big or why the show judges like them so big, we are talking about dogs who are 50-70 % to big according to the written standard Well there are some hunters in Norway, Sweden and Finland who still use Smooth Haired Fox Terrier for hunting fox, badger, mink, pine marten and so on. But what we need here in Norway is some new blood for breeding. So if anyone know about breeders in UK who breed there fox terriers with correct size and standard, please let me know. Its not that important if the dogs are of hunting blood lines or not, size and correct look is what we are looking for. From what we have heard, the show fox terriers in UK is much smaller than in Norway. Quote Link to post
hue jeers 6 Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 The export bit is the easy bit mate. The hard part will be to find a working line over here. Good luck though. Quote Link to post

Goodluck anyway.. Terrier man Quote Link to post
Foxterrier 22 Posted June 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 (edited) The export bit is the easy bit mate. The hard part will be to find a working line over here. Good luck though. Yeah I know the export/import is the easy part. It doesnt have to be a working line either, showdogs are ok just as long they are small i.e correct size according to written standard. Male dogs should be between 7,3 – 8,2 kg and bitches between 6,8 – 7,7 kg. As I mentioned in previous post, show dogs here in scandinavia are 12-14 kg (50/70%) oversize Our working dogs are good enough, but we want new blood for breeding to avoid inbreeding Edited June 17, 2008 by Foxterrier Quote Link to post

If not, does anyone have pictures of his dogs ? I'm only interested in pedigree dogs with papers, cause we register our litters, so the parents must be registered to.

Waz 4,265 Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Foxterrier, can you register dogs/pups over their that are registered in their country of origin? ie a foxterrier born and registered elsewhere in Europe? (apart from UK). Quote Link to post
Foxterrier 22 Posted June 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Yes its no problem to register a imported dog as long as its registered in its country of origin and that all papers are ok. There where imported 3 male dogs from Russia a couple of years ago, to be used for breeding and hunting offcourse, and they are all registered in Norway now. Quote Link to post
