After 16 years we said goodbye to our last Smooth Fox Terrier this week. Age and ill health meant we were no longer able to keep up with the high energy of this amazing breed. Rita, bottom right, has gone to a younger couple🧵

Our first, Leo (left above) came to us just before my wife was diagnosed with cancer and helped brighten our lives. He later toured with us in our campervans around Europe, winning hearts. But the love of our lives was Patsy (top right and below) taken too early by cancer, and adored by all.🧵
For those of you who don’t know, Smooth Fox Terriers were the first breed recognised by Crufts but are now so rare that they are on a special list of threatened breeds, with only around 100 registered births each year. Such a sad fate for an English traditional dog.
They break your heart but they’re so bloody worth it ☺️🙏
