They originated in England and were used for hunting vermin and for bolting foxes Size and AppearanceThis small terrier stands about 10 inches (25cm) and weighs 10-12 pounds. Their medium length coats are wiry and they shed very little. Their normal colors are red, wheaten, black and tan or grizzle. Their heads are rounded and feature small, oval eyes with medium sized erect ears Personality and TemperamentThis is a sensitive breed of dog that has a long memory for experiences that it did not like. Aside from this they are like larger terriers that are individualistic, strong willed and happy. Unlike other Terrier Dog Breeds they do not bark a lot and they do not require a lot of exercise. No matter how much you train this breed you have to be very vigilant of its desire to chase small animals. They are a danger to themselves when they are off leash.
