Fourche Terrier
Westie / Yorkie
Hybrid
The
Fourche Terrier
(pronounced "fush" to rhyme with "push.") is not a purebred dog. It is a cross between
the West Highland White Terrier and the
Yorkshire Terrier. The best way to determine the
temperament of a mixed breed is to look up all breeds in the cross and know you
can get any combination of any of the characteristics found in either breed.
This hybrid dog is recognized by the American Canine Hybrid Club.
Not all of these designer hybrid dogs being bred are 50%
purebred to 50% purebred. It is very common for breeders to breed
multi-generation crosses.
Petite, a female Fourche Terrier at 7
months old. 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."
