Toy Terrier

Personality

Despite its diminutive size, the Toy Terrier possesses a bold and confident terrier spirit. They are alert, curious, and form intensely devoted bonds with their owners, often becoming a 'shadow' to their favorite person.

Exercise Needs

They have moderate energy needs satisfied by short daily walks and active indoor play sessions. Mental stimulation through training games is important to prevent boredom.

Grooming & Care

Their short, smooth coat requires minimal grooming; a weekly brush is sufficient. Due to their small size, they are prone to dental issues, so regular teeth brushing is essential. Feed a high-quality diet appropriate for small, active breeds.

Family Suitability

Health Considerations

Generally healthy, but can be prone to patellar luxation (knee issues), dental problems, and hypoglycemia. Their small size makes them fragile, so care must be taken to prevent injury.
