The Fox Terrier. E-book. Formato PDF Williams Haynes - Forgotten Books, 2017 -
"Dogs may come, and dogs may go; but the Fox Terrier goes on forever," is a doggy proverb that is literally true. In spite of all the whims of fickle Mistress Fashion and in the face of the keenest competition from all sorts and conditions of canine novelties, the Fox Terrier always remains - with the general public at least - the best known of all terriers.Over in England, the land of his birth, he is and long has been the most popular of dogs. The Bulldog sets up to be Britain's "national breed;" but the Fox Terrier makes his claims rather fanciful, for he greatly outnumbers the popular dog with the smashed-in face and the bow legs. Moreover, he is a terrier, and the terriers are distinctively British in origin, while the bulldog is a member of the mastiff family, which if not imported by the Normans, was at least crossed extensively with big, heavy dogs from the Continent.
