The Fox Terrier

       ''Both the Smooth and Wire-Haired Fox Terriers have been very popular dogs for a great many years. The Fox Terriers cam first to England. The smooth type is slightly older than the wire-haired and, because of its keen scent and eyesight, was once used by hunters in routing out foxes from their hiding places. The coat of both types is white with black and tan markings. Height is about 15 1/2 inches at the withers; weight, about 18 pounds. The Fox Terriers are lively, affectionate, and quick to learn."
