Miniature Foxie puppies. Mini Foxy Also known as Tenterfield Terrier to some.
Are you looking for an awesome little mini foxie for your next best friend.
Welcome to LooCha mini foxies,
where we genetically test the parents of your new little family member to know you are being offered a healthy puppy with results of the DNA supplied to you if wanted.
Picture 1 we have an awesome hard to find merle tri coloured male. He is clear for DM, PLL and PRA-prdc. Not only that he may also carry the amazing chocolate and yellow colour, he does carry the blue gene. There are not many merles around at the moment, although they have been in the breed for many years they are not accepted as a “approved” colour in the mini foxie. Check out his eyes. $3000
Picture 2 we have a beautiful little tri male, this man does carry blue and he may also carry the amazing chocolate and yellow as well. This little munchkin is clear for DM, PLL and PRA-prdc as well. $2000
Picture 3 is a blue boy. Not only is he blue he may also carry the chocolate and the yellow. He is also clear for DM, PLL and possibly PRA-prdc. $2500.
It’s amazing how the colours can hide underneath the shown colours. How genetics work is amazing. We send our DNA samples over to the US as well as well as get some testing done here in Australia as well.
Only available puppies are as follows the first 3 pictures.
The other amazing colours we had in recent litters are also shown. Some of the colours were chocolate Merle, I also think we flicked a champagne chocolate Merle, lilac Merle, blue and there was a blue bob tail, lilac and tan/white. Prices of the sold ones ranged from $1500-$3500. The difference on pricing is depending on genetic results and sex of puppies.
Please feel free to look at our page LooCha Mini Foxies, where the heart melts at looking.

Origins
Tracing back to 19th-century Australia, Tenterfield Terriers emerged as adept working dogs, originally bred to control vermin. Their ancestors, primarily English Toy Terriers brought by British settlers, were crossbred with other terrier breeds, giving rise to the modern Tenterfield Terrier.
The town of Tenterfield in New South Wales lent its name to the breed, reflecting their growing popularity as versatile working dogs. Skilled in ratting and rabbit hunting, these terriers proved invaluable to rural settlers. By the late 20th century, efforts to standardise and officially recognize the breed bore fruit. In 1997, the Tenterfield Terrier gained recognition from Australian breeder associations, solidifying its status as a well-loved breed.
Yes, Tenterfield Terriers make good family dogs. They have a happy, playful nature and usually get along well with children. However, they’re small and should be handled with care.
They aren’t the best fit for multi-pet households, but can live with other larger dogs if they’re introduced at a young age.
Common Health Issues & Considerations
Tenterfield Terriers may suffer from:
Patellar Luxation
A condition where the kneecap dislocates or moves out of its normal location within the knee joint.
Legg-Calvé-Perthes Disease
A disorder of the hip joint where the head of the femur bone degenerates, leading to pain and lameness.
Dental Issues
Nature / Temperament
Bold, Alert, Fearless, Enthusiastic, Playful
Suitable Environment
Energetic and intelligent, Tenterfield Terriers thrive in various settings, making them adaptable companions. Their small stature and minimal shedding make them ideal indoor pets.
Other Considerations
The Tenterfield Terrier is among the few truly Australian dog breeds.
Previously known as the Miniature Fox Terrier or Mini Foxie, the breed recently adopted its current name.
Their active and vocal nature might not suit apartment living.
How can I take good care of my Tenterfield Terrier?
Nutrition
Opt for high-quality commercial dog food tailored to small breeds with high energy levels. Ensure their diet provides a balanced mix of protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals. Limit treats and avoid table scraps to maintain proper nutrition. Always keep fresh water available.
Grooming
A weekly brush suffices to remove dead hair and maintain a healthy coat. Their low-shedding nature may appeal to those with mild allergies.
Recommended Grooming Tips
Trim their nails every 3 to 4 weeks to prevent overgrowth and discomfort.
Bathe your Tenterfield Terrier every few weeks or as needed.
Brush their teeth several times a week with dog-specific toothpaste and a toothbrush to prevent plaque buildup and maintain oral health.
Exercise
Aim for at least one or two daily walks of 30 minutes each. This will not only provide physical exercise but also mental stimulation and an opportunity for socialisation.
Tenterfield Terriers enjoy exploring and sniffing their surroundings, so varying the walking route can keep them engaged.
Training
Tenterfield Terriers, eager learners, respond well to positive reinforcement and consistent training. Start early to nurture well-behaved, confident adults.
This information is general and should not be solely relied upon for adoption or purchasing decisions.
No, Tenterfield Terrier puppies should not live outdoors. Like most other dog breeds, they thrive when they are part of a family and live indoors with their human companions.
Housetraining Tenterfield Terrier puppies tends to be relatively easy. Despite their small size, they are a very intelligent breed and pick up on things quickly.
It may be good to try crate training if you have difficulty housetraining your Tenterfield Terrier.
Finding a reputable Tenterfield Terrier breeder is the key to getting a healthy, well-behaved Tenterfield Terrier puppy. A puppy from an ethical breeder has a much better chance of growing into a calm, gentle adult dog.
The average cost of a Tenterfield Terrier for sale is usually around AUD $1000 to $1500.
