This book is like having a conversation with a mentor. Davidson discusses every aspect of the breed, from a detailed explanation of the breed standard, temperament and character, to history, selection, care and breeding. There are chapters on training the show puppy and the Toy Fox Terrier in obedience. One of the most interesting is "The Versatile TFT," which covers a miriad of activities that this tiny breed can do, such as show biz acts, flyball, and hunting. The Appendices include a valuable section on genetic disorders and diseases affecting TFTs.

This review is from: The Toy Fox Terrier: Wired for Action (Paperback)
Informative on the breed, lets you know everything you should know.
Be sure to read a couple of general dog books too as each person gives slightly different advice. Overall I would recommend this book to anyone with a TFT.
