  • Smooth Fox Terrier
    YOU BE THE JUDGE By Robert Cole From Dogs in Canada, December 1987 THE SMOOTH FOX TERRIER The Smooth Fox Terrier CKC Standard advises that balance – the relationship of one point to another – is the keystone of the Fox Terrier’s anatomy. With this advice in mind, I have drawn six identically marked Smooth Fox Terrier examples to highlight some of these balance relationships. Having all six examples possess identical markings assists in focusing on certain aspects. As to markings themselves, the Standard only advises that white should predominate. Brindle, red or liver markings are objectionable. The colour markings on most Smooths of today are black and white, or tan and white. Occasionally, a dog with a black head will have tan penciling or markings. The majority of Wire specimens combine all three colours. Aside from the three objectionable colours, colour is of little or not importance. One of the chief ratios receiving official mention is the ratio between height at the withers and body length. Fox Terrier length of body is measured from the point of shoulder to buttocks, the ideal proportion being reached when this measurement equals height. The result is an almost square ideal. Almost, because very little of the Fox Terrier’s specialized straight front projects forward of the point of shoulder. An important ratio is length of head to body, another is an equal balance between skull and foreface. It is not stated, but I see the length of neck being equal to length of head and the level proportion of topline rearward to the tail the same length as head.
