The popular believe that mixed races are healthier is empircally true, but my own experience is that they also can inherit all the bad stuff from the involved races.

Mini foxies, as they are often known, have been raised in Australia (with different names) since the 19th century. These little, tenacious terriers descend from types of fox terrier raised in England and brought to Australia by the first settlers. The race evolved in the same direction as the American Toy Fox Terrier. As far as we know, the little plain fox terrier crossed with terriers from Manchester (Gentlemen's Terriers). The smaller puppies of these litters were reared later and crossed with other small breeds such as the English Toy Terrier, the Whippet and the Italian Galgo. The breeders were looking for a light and fast dog that would maintain the characteristics of Fox Terrier and, at the same time, hunt smaller pests, such as rabbits and rodents. The Fox Terrier is an Australian race that has been bred for generations. His appearance is unique.
The Fox Terrier miniature is a small, agile, soft-faced Terrier that preserves the hunting instincts and tenacity of its larger Terrier cousins. The race is similar to the Toy Fox Terrier and is colloquially known as “Mini Foxie” in his native Australia. The noble head of the Fox Terrier Miniature is characteristic, with erect ears that can remain upright or bend right at the tip. Another distinctive feature is its articulated and oval legs. The standard of the breed has always allowed the dog's tail to be amputated or amputated. Cases of natural kennels have been known. Only three color combinations are allowed: black and white, beige and white and tricolor (black, white and beige).

They are good with children who are old enough to distinguish between a dog and a teddy, and generally get along well with other domestic animals. However, like all terriers, the Mini Fox Terrier cannot distinguish between rodents or reptiles and vermins, and should not be left alone with these animals. Do not allow them to develop small dog syndrome. Don't treat them like little humans. Remember, they're canine animals. What they instinctively need like animals? If you don't socialize this dog and satisfy all its canine instincts, you can develop a mistrust of something new or different, which can cause excessive alarm barking. It's important to take the dog for a walk every day.

The Mini Foxies get along better with at least moderate exercise. You have to walk them every day. When walking, the dog must go next to or behind the person wearing the leash, because in the mind of a dog, the leader marks the way, and that leader must be the human. In addition, they will enjoy playing with toys and “smart” games in the yard. They will enchant delighted their owners on more strenuous excursions and walks, even jogging behind a horse for short periods.
