English Toy Terrier
English Toy Terriers are affectionate, friendly and totally devoted to their family. They will happily live in either the city or country. They should be socialized with other household animals and children from an early age. Remember that this dog was originally used for hunting rats, so they must be supervised with small pets.

The English Toy Terrier of today was known as the Miniature Black & Tan Terrier up to the 1960’s and can be traced back to the 16th century. In 19th century England, these terriers were in high demand as ratters, due to the increasing rat population brought on by the Industrial Revolution.
