Toy Fox Terrier Names

How is the Toy Fox Terrier different from other toy breeds?
Toy Fox Terriers are true terriers in a toy package — they retain the hunting instinct, intelligence, and boldness of their Smooth Fox Terrier ancestors. Unlike many toy breeds bred purely for companionship, TFTs will actually hunt mice and small vermin. They are also exceptional trick dogs — circus trainers prized them because they can learn tricks faster than almost any other breed.
