    English Toy Terriers

    The English Toy Terrier is the oldest native toy breed and they look very much like miniature Dobermanns although they are not related whatsoever. They are considered a vulnerable breed and as such have been placed on The Kennel Club's list even though they make charming companions and great family pets for households with older children.
