Question
hello. i am looking for a dog and i am very interested in the toy fox terrier. i don't know if you are into this breed. but i was wandering, how long are their pregnancies, how many puppies to a little, and how many litters a year?

Answer
Rachel -

I gather from your questions that you think you want to breed them.

On the other hand, you are asking about some of the most basic things - like how many litters a dog can have a year and the length of the pregnancy.  These things are the same for all dog breeds.

There is a lot to know if you want to breed dogs, and I am not the best resource. You will have a lot of reading to do, should speak to a breeder, and should establish a very good relationship with a vet.

I can tell you that toy fox terriers are very small and prone to being a nervoues breed, so they need to be exposed to a lot of new situations so they gain confidence when they are young.

Good luck.
