Australian and New Zealand informal for a fox terrier — the energetic, scrappy little dog breed that was once enormously popular as a working and companion dog across the Anglophone world. The '-ie' diminutive is characteristic of both Australian and New Zealand English, which tends to affectionately shorten everything from breakfast to flip-flops. A foxie is typically described as feisty, clever, and relentlessly active — a dog with a lot of personality in a small body. The term is warm and familiar rather than technical.
