English Toy Terriers (ETTs) are loyal, funny, elegant little dogs and they’re also one of the UK’s vulnerable native breeds. In this episode of The Yappy Hour (powered by Yappily), host Nathan Dunleavy chats with Nikki Cole from Delightful Dogs Dog Training about what makes the English Toy Terrier so special, how dog trends affect breed visibility, and how to choose a dog responsibly and ethically.

✅ English Toy Terrier temperament, lifestyle fit + coat care
✅ Why ETTs get mistaken for Doberman puppies or Miniature Pinschers
✅ What “vulnerable breed” means (and why awareness matters)
✅ How to find a responsible breeder (health testing, paperwork, red flags)
✅ Advice for guardians moving from large breeds to small dogs
✅ Enrichment for terriers: scent work, trick training + safe shredding outlets
✅ Under-the-radar UK breeds worth exploring
