Summary
About Smooth Fox Terrier
The Smooth Fox Terrier is a small, athletic, people‑oriented terrier with a short, easy‑care coat. Energetic, intelligent and independent, it needs plenty of exercise, training and mental stimulation. Affectionate yet intense, especially with small animals, it suits active, consistent owners.
About German Spaniel (Wachtelhund)
Medium, robust German hunting spaniel built for dense cover, with a thick, weather‑resistant coat in brown or brown-white. Very loyal, often one-person focused yet family friendly. Highly energetic, driven working gundog that needs intensive exercise and meaningful tasks; still uncommon outside Germany.
