Fourche Terriers were first created in 1978 by Fourche Valley Kennel, and Petite was one of the pups from that litter. The first litter of Fourche Terriers was created strictly by accident, by crossing a Yorkie and a West Highland White Terrier. They turned out to be wonderful little dogs and their breedings continued. "We named them "Fourche Terrier" after the name of our kennel, Fourche Valley Kennel. "Fourche" is pronounced "fush" to rhyme with "push." That isn't the French pronunciation, but that is the name here. The Fourche Terrier was slightly larger than the Yorkie, much smaller than the Westie. They had superior personalities with the Westie spunkiness and non-shedding coat of the Yorkie, but looked like a miniature Cairn Terrier."
