About Felix
Darling little FELIX is a "FoxField", a Fox Terrier x Smithfield. He was born on 15 January 2021 and he was given his name because it means "happy" and "lucky".
The "FoxField" is an unusual breed mix, but let's start from the beginning. For those not familiar with the rare Smithfield, they are a middle-sized herding dog, first introduced to Australia from England during colonial times. Known variously as the British Smithfield, Smithfield Collie or Smithfield Sheepdog, their coat grows long, coarse and shaggy. In a word, they are adorable.
The Smithfield is a calm, loyal, friendly and patient dog that makes an excellent companion for children and adults alike. Being a working breed, he requires plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. Clever and fun-loving, the Smithfield enjoys running, playing fetch, learning tricks and catching Frisbee. They make good agility dogs.
However, when the day is done and their energy needs are met, they enjoy the company of their family and will happily lounge about, watching TV and getting tummy rubs. They will alert their family to visitors with a friendly bark, but no aggression.
Somewhere along the line a Smithfield mated with a Foxy and FELIX is the delightful result. As most people know, Foxies are highly intelligent, outgoing and inquisitive dogs with boundless energy and big personalities.
With genes like these, there's no doubt that FELIX will make a superb companion for an active person or family.
