    Why Brush or Groom Your Toy Fox Terrier Dog?

    Brushing and combing your dog's hair coat is an important component of everyday pet care. Combing assists to keep your Toy Fox Terrier dog's coat in good condition by eliminating loose hair and preventing hair mats/knots.

    Brushing also assists to distribute healthy natural skin oils over the hair shaft, ensuring a gleaming coat and helping dust to slide off the hair. This can also help to lessen the need to bath and therefore decrease the regularity of bathing.

    Brushing and grooming of your Toy Fox Terrier dog are tasks that help to enhance the positive relationship bond between your family pet and you. Brushing should be an enjoyable and comfortable experience for your pet and you.

    How Often to Groom Your Toy Fox Terrier

    How frequent to brush and groom your dog will rely on each personal dog. Dogs tend to contrast in their need for brushing because of their coat type and length and also depending on their latest activities.

    Dogs with short coats normally require less brushing and grooming compared to dogs with medium to long haired coats as these longer coats can get tangles, mats and debris trapped in them more quickly.

    Some very short-haired pet dogs may not need traditional 'brushing' and for these dogs, owners may rather like to try a soft grooming glove to delicately remove loose hair, occasionally.

    Canines should be brushed 'as needed'. Owners should keep an eye on the condition of their dog's coat, searching for any tangles/mats or dullness which suggests they might need a brush. Grooming can take anything from a few minutes to a number of hours a week depending on your type of dog.

Toy Fox Terrier Information

The Toy Fox Terrier has all the same traits that make the Smooth Fox Terrier such a successful hunter -- just in a diminutive package. This is an athletic, agile and graceful dog with surprising strength and the stamina to frolic all day. The gait is smooth and effortless. The coat is short and smooth, perfect for caressing.

TFTs are TNT in a small bundle. Feisty and fun-loving, they are hunting terriers at heart and will spend hours investigating the yard, your cabinets and places you never knew existed. They love to play with people and toys, and make excellent companions for careful older children; however, they do not tolerate inconsiderate handling. They can entertain for hours and are also content to snuggle on a warm lap during recess. This is a one-family, even one-person, breed that doesn't warm to strangers initially. The TFT's intelligence, energy and penchant for showing off make it a quick study and impressive trick dog.
