English Toy Terrier (Black & Tan)



The English Toy Terrier - Black and Tan is a small breed of terrier in the toy dog group.

Appearance

According to the Kennel Club, the English Toy Terrier should be 25–30 cm (10–12 in) in height and 2.7–3.6 kg (6–8 lb) in weight. The only permitted color is black with defined tan markings on the legs, chest and face. The movement is described as being like the extended trot of a horse. The English Toy Terrier has beautiful, almond-shaped eyes, and 'candle-flame' ears. Most English toy terriers are lovable, friendly, intelligent, very loud and love to bark. They enjoy exercise, but they also like plenty of cuddles.

Concerns of extinction

The ETT is on the UK Kennel Club's list of vulnerable native breeds and great effort is being made to boost the popularity of the breed and develop a viable gene pool. The Kennel Club (UK) has opened the stud book, allowing the North American Toy Manchester Terrier to be re-registered as English Toy Terrier (Black & Tan) provided it is certified to be a Toy and not of the Standard variety. Some owners in Great Britain are against this decision; others see it as a positive way to preserve the breed.
