General Description
The Kemmer Feist is a small perky looking dog which is often compared to the Rat Terrier. A small round head starts off this dog and leads to their narrow muzzle. Small round eyes sit slightly off to the side of their head. Naturally their ears hang down in a “v” shape, however, they are often cropped into an odd shape. A short skinny neck leads to their small body. Short legs end with tiny rabbit-like paws. Short sleek fur covers their body. There are two common color combinations: one is black, tan, and white which is also called tri-colored or tan and white with the tan varying from light colors to rich colors.Character
The Kemmer Feist has a sweet and playful nature. Family and strangers get love and affection from this small sweet dog. Other dogs and small animals can also become fun companions for the Kemmer Feist. Intelligent and playful, they can be trained easily, plus they do great in agility and obedience trials.

History
The Kemmer Feist is a hunting breed developed by cross-breeding Fox Terriers and several other types of hunting dogs, particularly dogs with good noses. They were created through the efforts of Robert Kemmer. Unfortunately, very few of these dogs are left and many have actually ended up being crossed with other dogs.

Grooming the Kemmer Feist is easy. Brushing once a week will keep their coat soft and clean. Baths are not needed and neither are trims. Exercise is fun for this breed as well as for their owner. Short walks and play time will keep them happy.

The Kemmer Feist would do great with many different environments. Sweet and friendly with all people as well as animals, this breed is a great family dog. Fun and playful, they also like games and do great in training. Agility is fun and stimulating for this breed. This breed should have lots of things to do, so they are not bored. Apartment life is great for this dog because little exercise is needed. However, they can also live on a large farm or country home.This breed needs plenty of exercise in order to expend all of it's energy. If they are not properly exercised, they may become unresponsive to training and become irritable.

I LOVE THIS DOG!
I really never knew what type of dog my dog was but now I do. This description is totally my dog, Baby. She has the looks and the perkiness of the Kemmer Feist. She has the cutest aubourn eyes and is very affectionate. She always hates it when I leave for school, but when I get home she goes crazy because I'm home. When my mom remarried, her new husband has a male lab mix that is very large and alpha male like. Well, Baby got along with him great and showed her boundries and let him know who's boss. She loves to run around and make trails in the backyard. She is a very good guard dog. I recommend this dog. Although my dog may be a mix of different breeds this one breed is a dominant one in her. These are playful fun dogs. But when they reach about six they become lazy. Make sure they have an open window to watch the street. They like to know whats going on.
Pros: protective, affectionate, obeys almost all of the time, adorable, very soft, not bad smelling, gets along with other dogs
Cons: barks, licks you alot, paws at you, plays games sometimes
