I have a SFT. In fact my dog is the first SFT shown in this video. They are smart and wilful in equal measure. Exercise and discipline are paramount. But oh boy can they test your patience.!!!!

@DavidThompson-qr7bb 3 года назад

Our Son has two SFT, but they are such different dogs temperamentally. We love them both for different reasons. They are known as the "Gentleman's Dog." They don't bark for no good reason. Both of them are amazing dogs and very winning. One is more athletic and would play games all day long, whilst the other one is more a companion dog. Both love to walk. They must have secure back yards, and be on a lead at ALL TIMES, because they are SO QUICK and will chase anything that moves. EXTREMELY AGILE HUNTERS. Those beautiful beady eyes and their tick-tock gait. Beautiful Dogs.

I had one for 16 years and I loved her. She was the sweetest dog ever. She was never aggressive toward people (Pigeons and rats however, had it coming 😂😂) and would love to snuggle with everyone. In fact when we played tug of war and accidentally bit me she would come up to me and cuddle my hand as to protect it. When she was young she was quite hyper and would climb on stuff all the time. But as she got old she became super lazy and was a great dog for my baby niece and nephew. She would just snuggle with them as they watched cartoons. It pained us when she passed away 2 years. Even now it pains me seeing another foxie, emotionally I'm still not ready for a new dog. Hopefully one day I can get my future kids a Foxie too.

The lexicon does not contain enough adjectives to describe this utterly adorable terrier. I had five in my time and each one was noble, faithful and the best companion. ❤️🐕‍🦺❤️🐕‍🦺❤️🐕‍🦺❤️🐕‍🦺❤️

t's interesting to learn that my dog, Dexter, is quite big for his breed. He weighs about 23 lbs last I took him to the vet. He also stays in the yard, which is not fenced in. He knows his boundaries and seldom leaves the yard. Most other things, I found to have already learned through experience,; for instance, Dexter's bark is crazy loud. He rarely barks, but when he does, it startles the whole house. He's not afraid of bigger dogs and my god, so unbelievably fast.

@paullebon323 3 года назад

We had one in the late 60s and 70s. Sasha had balls like cannonballs. He was vicious rodent killer and wouldn't back down from any dog, even Dobermans.

@KellyK387 Год назад

My family had the from the 20s towards the 80s . Last one died in 86. We have been looking for one forever and the rescues want to be too picky, the breeders scalp them on akc marketplace. And no breeders in the south . I think they’re rare

I'm on #3 SFT. Cannot imagine owning any other breed.

@DavidThompson-qr7bb 3 года назад

SFT are adorable dogs as pets. Better with adults, unless older children are taught about how clever they are on the chase.

@hg1651 2 года назад

Very smart, good with childern, loves to go and do things and does enjoy being lazy as well. I would say get two, so they can play when you are not around.

@TheOmnipresent12 3 года назад

Is it fair to say that the SFT' is somewhat similar in character to a Jack Russell? I picked up on the word 'distant'... this to me well explained a JR' that someone I know owns.

@gudgeonsales2000 3 года назад

SFT's are less yappy and aggressive than JR's.

@TheOmnipresent12 3 года назад

@@gudgeonsales2000 Interesting and good to know. Thank you.

@tsering4966 2 года назад

@@gudgeonsales2000 any other differences between the two?

@gudgeonsales2000 2 года назад

@@tsering4966 Physically SFT's are faster and go further due to the long legs. They need lots of running around every day. They are natural athletes and what they're capable of will amaze you. If really motivated they can get over a 5 foot fence (although unless they've learned to do this they're unlikely to try), and we've had SFT's that climbed loft ladders, and trees. Plus of course they are elegant and expressive. Temperament-wise SFT's are tenacious and stubborn, but unlike JRT's are not quick to strike or quick to aggression. They are highly intelligent, but hard to train because they don't like repeating things just to please you. In fact they value their own ideas as much as yours when it comes to obedience. They are also extremely loyal and loving and they absolutely love kids, from sticky fingers and faces to interesting games and fun, dressing up and exploring they will accompany and protect your kids. Strange kids may find them over-friendly though, and when they smile there are a lot of teeth for an unaccustomed child to deal with. You'll need to discourage use of the mouth to play, they are very gentle but still best avoid. Never ever leave dogs alone with very small kids, mainly in this case because you can't be sure how the child may handle the dog. As with all dogs you need to establish that you're the alpha early on. Any signs the dog is ordering you around, and SFT's will try, should be met with a demonstration of your own position. Personally I find, for an SFT sized dog, pinning them harmlessly to the floor with your hands on their sides until you're ready to let them up does the trick. It emulates the natural pack behaviour.
