A to Z challenge, day 6, Fourche Terrier.

F is for Fourche Terrier, a new breed to the doggie world that is essentially a cross between a West Highland Terrier and a Yorkshire Terrier and to represent this lovely new breed we have Sam, compliments of his lovely mummy, Wendy.


Like all Terriers, Sam is a lively little dog with plenty of attitude. So much so, that he has earned himself a couple of very special nicknames. The first, Wendy says, is "Samuel LJ, as in Jackson, as he has a face that says it all, when he isn't happy about something." The second, and the one that really made me chuckle, was ASBO, due to him being slightly dysfunctional at times. Really, this Cutie? Just look at that face. 


Sam is a very brave little chap, too. He once saved a farmer from a very angry Aberdeen Angus mum with calf, when the farmer's own dog, who was four times the size of little Sam, ran away with his tail between his legs. Awww, our little hero. 

Sam is a stubbon little boy who does what he wants when he wants.  His pet hates are cats, hoovers, and baths. The bath one's a shame too, considering his breed, which requires regular clipping. Poor Sam. Still, I bet he feels much better for it, once it's done. 


On a more positive note, Sam's mum says, "He LOVES food and will do anything he can to wrap you round his paw to get it, even yours!"

I think Sam sounds like an awesome little dog. Now, let's get to know the breeds that make him:

The West Highland Terrier.



The Yorkshire Terrier.
