Behind the scenes
- The title is a pun on "fox terrier," which is a type of dog breed.
- This was the last cartoon to be reissued in the Blue Ribbon program to lose its original rings. Unlike most reissues during this time, the original ending title was kept.
- The original opening rings are known to exist, but they were discovered soon after the cartoon was restored for streaming services.
- This is one of the few Foghorn Leghorn and Barnyard Dawg cartoons where both win at the end, along with The High and the Flighty and Crowing Pains.
- This cartoon is one of the three McKimson-directed shorts to have Michael Maltese as the writer.
- And it is one of the only two Foghorn cartoons which Maltese ever wrote, the other one being the 1958 cartoon Weasel While You Work.
