The Museum of the Dog has a fun new exhibit thru April. ‘Outfoxed‘ features Fox Terriers, both Smooth and Wire who have been among the most popular and versatile breeds; whether on the hunt with the hounds, in the field chasing rabbits, in the barn ratting or, these days, as a delightfully upbeat companion dog. While I am not a fan of hunts, I am a fan of this dog museum. ‘The exhibition Outfoxed: Fox Terriers and Friends explores the development of the breed, the variety of their jobs, and chronicles the many champions in the collection. The list of famous Fox Terriers in the show reads like a who’s-who in the history of the breed. Visitors will encounter portrayals of such notables including: Belgrave Joe, one of the early fathers of the breed, Cackler of Notts, the Duchess of Newcastle’s masterpiece, Caesar, Cackler’s son and Edward VII’s beloved companion, The Totteridge XI, Francis Redmond’s kennel as painted by Arthur Wardle and Maude Earl and Nornay Saddler, considered by many as close to perfection in the breed’. My own little Chihuahua, Mr. Pepe, bears no regal markings but as far as I am concerned he is Best in Show.
Looks like something I would enjoy
