MINI FOXIE CLUB OF AUSTRALIA : : HOME
Description
The Mini Foxie Club of Australia, Inc. (formerly known as the Miniature Fox Terrier Club of Australia) is an independent breed club dedicated to the promotion and preservation of the Miniature Fox Terrier, aka Mini Foxie.
The Mini Foxie Club of Australia Inc. holds Mini Foxie shows, maintains the Mini Foxie Breed Register, produces a quarterly newsletter and has direct communication with its many members nationwide and internationally. The club has a highly democratic ethos and member participation is vital and lively with a focus always on breeding dogs of good quality.
In the early 1980s, breeders and fanciers began meeting informally to discuss the future of this endemic Australian breed. Miniature Fox Terriers were very well known, having existed in Australia for over one hundred years but the varying types all lumped together as Mini Foxies or Little Foxies had not been standardized. The political climate suggested that Breed-Specific Legislation (laws or ordinances which affect one dog breed or one category of dogs) to restrict the breeding of non-pedigreed dogs may have been imminent, and it was felt that formal organization would be necessary to safeguard the breed’s future. An informal meeting to discuss the parameters of the breed and possible Australian National Kennel Council recognition was held at the St. Ives Showground between owners and representatives of the Royal New South Wales Canine Council - Mr Bill Polley, Mr Wes Stacey and Dr. Harry Spira.
