El terrible zorro

. . . FOX TERRIER, as all the characters are decked out in English Terrier suits at one juncture or another. English terriers were first discovered by a doc named John, while he was out poaching leeches from Sherwood Forest in 1527. Back in John's day, all of these canines were black and tan in color. However, in 1790 Col. Tom Thornton's wayward female terrier had a fling with a greyhound, giving birth to "Pitch,' the first ever English terrier with white markings. Naturally, folks from all around soon were demanding pictures of Pitch on their door mats, milk pitchers, post cards, Valentines and whatnot. Soon, the prolific pitch sired Old Jacques, Trap and Tartar, the initial trio displaying the markings of Today's Fox Terriers.
