Hunt Terriers
| The Farm at Cooperstown, NY |
Joining our other Terrier breeding females Beatrix is our first Hunt Terrier pictured here at six weeks. She arrived in New York from Louisiana weighing 4 pounds six ounces. Arriving in the dead of winter must have been quite a shock after leaving the warm Louisiana climate. However--------- |
---------she adapted beautifully and is now happy to be with our other Russell Terriers and enjoys the New York spring season. She was whelped January 1, 2009 and is pictured here at almost five months old. |
What is a Hunt Terrier? "Well balanced terrier, small, yet strong agile terrier a little longer than tall. Chest is deeper than wide, legs are well muscled and half the terrier’s height. The head has a moderately broad, flat skull with button drop ears. Skin is thick with a dense coat. The coat can be rough, smooth or broken. Tail is normally docked and held high. Solid tan (from a deep reddish tan to a light lemon tan), solid black, or black with tan or red points are acceptable colors for a Hunt Terrier. Solid white or predominantly white is not allowed. Legs and belly must not be white. A small amount of white on the chest or feet is acceptable. The Hunt Terrier is bold and notoriously fearless, loyal, friendly, active and alert. His swift and intelligent movements match his intelligent expression."* *From the American Hunt Terrier Club Association |
