SMOOTH FOX TERRIER RESCUE

All puppies are cute!

All puppies are cute.  They are so new and innocent.  They are also a challenge to raise correctly.  Up until they are six months old they have puppy teeth that are very sharp and can cause some real damage. They also take some time to house train.  They need a lot of attention and should be in a home that has someone home most of the day.  The adult dog is past all this.  He may be already housetrained, and used to walking on a leash.  He will be more settled in.

There are advantages to both the puppy and the adult.

Take both into consideration when you start looking for your new pet. The Smooth usually lives a long and healthy life.  Many live to be 15 years old or more. They are generally very hearty and do not have any major heredity problems. They are strong  and hearty and will stay that way with sensible feeding and  care.  They do tend to be allergic to fleas and can have some skin problems. These are usually easily dealt with by good care and a clean environment.
