[citation needed] Fell terrier types are typically small, usually 10- 15 lbs/6.5 kg, and with a narrow chest, so as to fit into the tunnels of the animals they hunt.

Fell terriers are long-legged, with a rough textured coat, often red or black in colour.

Crossbreeding with other hunting terriers in the beginning caused the appearance to vary.

[citation needed] Fell terriers are bred for hunting ability and gameness[1] rather than to a standard of appearance (breed type).
