Fourche Terriers were first created in 1978 by Fourche Valley [COLOR=green ! important][COLOR=green ! important]Kennel[/COLOR][/COLOR], 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 [COLOR=green ! important][COLOR=green ! important]White [COLOR=green ! important]Terrier[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR]. They turned out to be wonderful [COLOR=green ! important][COLOR=green ! important]little [COLOR=green ! important]dogs[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR] 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."

Hi, I was looking for information on this mix. My little guy is 15 weeks old , 11 pounds and growing like a weed. His litter mate is around 6 1/2 pounds! He definitely takes after his Yorkie dad in looks, but apparently has a Westie butt. |
Yea! Another fourche terrier! Post pics! What's your babies name? My five month old Yorkie-Westie is 7 1/5 lbs now - I can't believe how big yours is already :-) |
Fourche terriers If you google the name you will get some info. on the web. Wow, he is a big little guy. Lily is 10 months and about 7.5 pounds. Please post a pic. Would love to see him. I don't know what the average size is. I guess being a cross there really isn't a standard. |
