Hunt Terrier (not "hunting terrier") refers to types of terrier dogs that were attached to British "hunts", horse-oriented social clubs devoted to chasing the red fox on horseback, following packs of hounds. The hunt terrier was kept for a variety of reasons, such as rat control around stables and kennels, and to run with the hounds to flush the fox from small hiding places. It might also be expected to flush foxes from underground dens ("going to earth" like a working terrier), or to act as a lurcher. They tended to be white in colour so as to be more easily seen by the hunter,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Smooth Fox Terrier History )〕 but they could be any colour. Where hunts and fox hunting remain legal today, such as in the United States, terriers are little used. Breeds refined from Hunt terriers, such as the Fox Terrier and Jack Russell Terrier, are kept today as pets and showdogs, or, if small enough, as working terriers. == Some breeds derived from hunt terriers == *Jack Russell Terrier *Brazilian Terrier *Chilean Fox Terrier *Fox Terrier (Smooth) *Fox Terrier (Wire) *Hunt Terrier (American) *Japanese Terrier *Miniature Fox Terrier *Russell Terrier *Parson Russell Terrier *Plummer Terrier *Rat Terrier *Ratonero Bodeguero Andaluz *Tenterfield Terrier *Toy Fox Terrier 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hunt terrier」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
