Health of the TOY FOX TERRIER
BY AMANDA HALSEY, DYNASTY TOY FOX TERRIERS
T oy Fox Terriers (TFTs) are awesome little dogs! They are a lot like humans in little dog suits. With proper socializa- tion they can excel in a great deal of different areas from Conformation to Performance Events, and they are really excellent at being great companions. When considering any breed for your home, it is important to understand the health conditions that could be found in that breed. TFTs generally live 13 to 15 years, but it is not uncommon to see them make it to 16 or 17 years. Keeping TFTs at an ideal weight can help them live longer and healthier lives; they love their food, so this can be a challenge. Overall, TFTs are a healthy breed, but there are a few conditions occasionally seen that are important to be aware of.
