    has anyone seen a tenterfield terrier before?

    I have a dog called Hercules that is a tenterfield terrier but I have hardly seen any other tenterfield terriers before. Has anyone seen them before?

    I've never heard of the breed before. I looked them up on google right now and looked at some pictures. They sure are cute! I hope we get to see some picture of Hercules!

    They seem to look a lot like Toy Fox Terriers...

    I must say I had never heard of tenterfield terrier before either
    Thank you for sharing with us and welcome to Pet Talk.

    This is something I quoted from
    http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/tenterfieldterrier.htm

    The Tenterfield Terrier was developed by crossing the Standard Fox Terriers (Smooth) with the Manchester Black and Tan or English Toy Terriers (Black & Tan). At a later stage the Whippet was introduced. At one stage Chihuahua was used but any outcrossing to other breeds is now quite forbidden. Though the Tenterfield Terrier originated in England in the 1800's, it was developed into the type it is today in Australia, making it one of only a few truly Australian bred dogs. It is found nowhere else in the world. The breed is sometimes confused with the Jack Russell, However they are some quite different.

    thanks k9krazee for the signature!
