Glossary Term: English Toy Terrier

The English Toy Terrier is a small, active breed of dog that is descended from the now-extinct English Black and Tan Terrier. These dogs have a smooth and glossy black and tan coat that is easy to groom and maintain. They have a wedge-shaped head and medium-sized, almond-shaped eyes. Their high-set ears are small and triangular.

English Toy Terriers are intelligent, alert, and playful. They are loyal to their families and make great companions. They are known to be excellent watchdogs and bark loudly when strangers approach. They are also relatively easy to train and do best with consistent and positive reinforcement.

English Toy Terriers require plenty of exercise and playtime. They are not suited for apartment living, and are best suited for a home with a fenced-in yard where they can run and play. Their small size also makes them easy to transport, so they are great for people who like to take their dogs with them on trips.

English Toy Terriers are energetic, affectionate, and loving dogs that make wonderful companions. They are ideal for active households and families with older children. They get along well with other pets and make great family dogs.
