I have not heard of them. Tell us about him! Is it an Aussie breed?
I've heard of them before but have never seen one.
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!
Never heard of them! Welcome to PT! Is this what they look like:confused:
They seem to look a lot like Toy Fox Terriers...
I must say I had never heard of tenterfield terrier before either :o
Thank you for sharing with us and welcome to Pet Talk.
This is something I quoted from

Quote:
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 everyone for answering back! sorry but i dont really know how to get a picture of him here. He is small and black and white with pointy ears. Hes really cute.
