The Toy Fox Terrier is the “new kid on the block” when
it comes to the American Kennel Club’s registry, and at the same time
the breed’s name has practically been a household work in the US for
over half of a century. There’s no doubt at all the the Toy Fox Terrier
is an “all-American” product, but his roots are entirely British. The
Toy Fox Terrier is probably one of the most economical dogs to own. He
requires little space and quite frankly would prefer to share your bed
rather than have you invest in his own dog bed. The Toy Fox eats little,
probably less then other breeds of the same size . He can get all of the
exercise he needs in a tiny yard or even within the confines of an apartment. The
Toy Fox Terrier is a breed of which it can be said without hesitation that
two are just as easy to raise as one

CHIHUAHUA
|
|
For some reason probably his diminutive size, the Chihuahua
is often considered by the uninitiated to be somewhat less of a real dog
then other canines. This is ironic, for when proper research is done, what
is learned is that the Chihuahua is the oldest dog breed on the American
continent, and in this sense, one of the most authentic of all dogs. |

TACO TERRIER
|
Designer Dog? What the heck is a designer dog you ask. A
"Designer" Dog (as the media has labeled them) is a cross
between two purebred dogs. What is the difference between a Designer dog
and a Mutt? Generally, a Mutt is of uncertain ancestry. A designer dog has
documented purebred ancestry. The Taco Terrier is not a purebred dog. It
is a cross between a Chihuahua and the Toy Fox Terrier. This hybrid breed
is recognized by the American Canine Hybrid Club

A Breeder's Life
A Breeder is one who thirsts for knowledge and
never really knows it all, one who wrestles with decisions of
conscience, convenience, and commitment. A Breeder is one who sacrifices
personal interests, finances, time, fancy furniture, and deep pile
carpeting! They give up the dreams of a long, luxurious cruise in favor
of turning that all important Show into this year's
"vacation". The Breeder goes without sleep (but never without
coffee!) in hours spent planning a breeding or watching anxiously over
the birth process, and afterwards, over every little sneeze, wiggle or
cry. The Breeder skips dinner parties because that litter is due or the
babies have to be fed at eight. They disregard birth fluids and put
mouth to mouth to save a gasping new-born, literally blowing life into a
tiny, helpless creature that may be the culmination of a lifetime of
dreams. A Breeder's lap is a marvelous place where generations of proud
and noble champions once snoozed. A Breeder's hands are strong and firm
and often soiled, but ever so gentle and sensitive to the thrusts of a
puppy's wet nose. A Breeder's back and knees are usually arthritic from
stooping, bending, and sitting in the birthing box, but are strong
enough to enable the breeder to Show the next choice pup to a
Championship. A Breeder's shoulders are stooped and often heaped with
abuse from competitors, but they're wide enough to support the weight of
a thousand defeats and frustrations. A Breeder's arms are always able to
wield a mop, support an armful of puppies, or lend a helping hand to a
newcomer. A Breeder's ears are wondrous things, sometimes red (from
being talked about) or strangely shaped (from being pressed against a
phone receiver), often deaf to criticism, yet always fine-tuned to the
whimper of a sick puppy. A Breeder's eyes are blurred from pedigree
research and sometimes blind to their own dog's faults, but they are
ever so keen to the competitions faults and are always searching for the
perfect specimen. A Breeder's brain is foggy on faces, but it can recall
pedigrees faster than an IBM computer. It's so full of knowledge that
sometimes it blows a fuse: it catalogues thousands of good boning's,
fine ears, and perfect heads... and buries in the soul the failures and
the ones that didn't turn out. The Breeder's heart is often broken, but
it beats strongly with hope everlasting ... and it's always in the right
place! Oh, yes, there are breeders, and then, there are BREEDERS!!
