Are TOY FOX TERRIERS GOOD FAMILY DOGS?

When i was 16 i was in a rollover accident and doctors took out my spleen and told me that if a dog bites me or dog saliva gets into my blood stream it could be deadly to me but i jut found out that might not be as deadly as those doctors told me 9 years ago and so now i am trying to decide on a dog to get and i was wondering if toy fox terriers were good family dogs or good dogs period.

The Toy Fox Terrier may be physically small, but this is a robust little terrier that retains all the passion of its Fox Terrier ancestors. This breed thinks he is big! The breed is tough and bright, and can be stubborn without proper leadership from his owners. Curious and active, the Toy Fox Terrier keeps its young spirit throughout its life. They are intelligent, loving, sensitive and pleasant. It is very alert, inquisitive and quick. This is a companion dog that has not forgotten its ancient terrier instincts, and will therefore fight mice and small animals. This athletic little dog loves the hunt. Affectionate and very loyal. This breed is an exceptionally intelligent, trainable dog. Some have been trained to assist handicapped people around the home. It has proven to be an excellent hearing dog for the deaf. It can be trained to take its human companion to the sources of sounds, such as the telephone. Make sure you are this dog’s firm, confident, consistent pack leader to avoid Small Dog Syndrome, human induced behavior problems. Always remember, dogs are canines, not humans. Be sure to meet their natural instincts as animals. If the human remains 100% pack leader, they will not be yappers. Children should be taught to treat dogs kindly, yet in such a way, the dog sees the child as his leader. This happy dog is sure to bring smiles to the faces of nearly all who meet it, due to its energetic and forever youthful antics. Hope this helps.

Have a great day
