An
initiative of the;
NATIONAL PROMOTIONS COMMITTEE
BACKGROUND
They started in England as
Toy Manchester Terriers, progressed to Toy Black and Tans,
then to Miniature Black and Tans, and in 1962 took their
present title of English Toy Terrier or E.T.T.
Despite its small size, it
still retains the ability to hunt vermin, inherited from its
Manchester Terrier forebears, and can be an excellent
ratter. The Italian Greyhound is also believed to have been
used in its development which could account for the more
elegant, slender outline.
The result is a graceful, well-balanced,
compact Toy dog, with Terrier temperament and
characteristics
AVERAGE LIFESPAN
When considering a dog,
please realize that you are taking it on for its lifetime.
English Toy Terriers live until 12 to 13 years of age.
AVERAGE SIZE AND WEIGHT
Height: 25.5 to 30.5 cms (10
- 12 inches)
Weight: 2.7 to 3.6 kg (6 - 8
lbs)
BREED
PERSONALITY/CHARACTERISTICS/ TEMPERAMENT
Sleek and richly
coloured, the E.TT.
should always be black and tan, with the distinctive coat
pattern laid down in the breed standard. A distinguishing
feature is the "candle-flame" shaped ears, and the small,
dark, sparkling eyes add to its alert expression.
It is not aggressive, and is
affectionate and friendly, making a charming, intelligent
companion. It is an excellent house-dog, giving warning of
intruders before its owner is aware.
COMPATIBILITY WITH OTHER PETS
Excellent, although naturally, pet rats,
mice, rabbits and guinea-pigs should be protected by safe,
secure enclosures
CARE REQUIREMENTS
The E.TT. is easy to care
for, its short, smooth, odourless coat requires little more
than a daily brushing and rub down to give its coat a sheen.
Although lightly built, it is
quite robust, but having a naturally fine coat it is best
suited as a house dog. Some may need a coat for out of doors
in the colder weather.
With its hunting Terrier
background it is naturally quite active, and although it can
manage well in a small garden or apartment, it will still
benefit physically and mentally with a daily walk.

PLEASE TAKE NOTE
Annual checks and inoculation
are essential, as is regular worming. Your veterinarian will
explain the dangers of heart-worm, and advise on the
preventative measures.
IDEAL OWNER/S
The E.T.T. is good with
children, but tends to be a one-person dog, so is admirably
suited to single people, and older couples or families.
