Mini Chisoxy

The Mini Chisoxy is a fairly rare hybrid breed, so, in order to understand the origins, one should study the histories of the parent breeds. The Miniature Fox Terrier is one who can trace the origins of his ancestors to England in the 1500s. The Fox Terrier was developed to find foxes in their dens and to help roust them out of their dens as well. Surprisingly, "runts" of the Smooth Fox Terrier litters seemed to be more prized as they were feisty and seemed better at ratting and hunting foxes. They were also unafraid when it came to defending their territory. At one time, the Smooth Fox Terrier, regardless of size, was registered under the same breed. Today, especially after the introduction of smaller dogs in order to develop a toy-sized dog, the Miniature Fox Terrier is recognized as a breed all its own. The Chihuahua finds its roots in Central and South America. Most people associate the Chihuahua with Mexico, but this breed has roots in the ancient empires of the Aztecs. A hairless dog similar to the Chihuhua was thought to have healing powers, and would often be placed in the bed of those who were ill. They were also used to keep people warm - the term "three-dog night" comes from this practice. The modern-day Chihuahua was first recognized in the Mexican state of Chihuahua. American visitors to the area brought the small dog to the United States, where the breed became one of the most popular in America.
