Do you know these breeds?

I will now present four terrier breeds which are often mixed up, at least in Finland, they are easily mixed up. The dogs have several common features such as a black nose, dark eyes, white colour with black and tan markings (still over 50% white), small v-like ears and very similar smooth, broken or rough coats. At one point their tails were docked.
And yet all these four breeds are different.
- The neck of the smooth fox terrier is longer than the russell's, and their heads are differently shaped.
- Measurements (height, length of legs and back)

The breed standards can be found in the Associations' web sites and the breed standards of the FCI-approved breeds also in the FCI site. The breed standards help you distinguish these four terrier breeds from each other.
