Poirot - "Bob" - What kind of dog?

Does anyone know what breed dog "Bob" was on the recent Poirot TV series?

"Bob" was a wire-haired Fox Terrier named "Snubby". He looks EXACTLY as he's supposed to look because, in the book, when Poirot asks Hastings the breed and Hastings tells him, Hastings adds, "Needs plucking, though.". And, Snubby is obviously unplucked.

Personally, I cannot compliment Snubby's trainer more highly. So many animal actors are obviously looking at their trainer as they do their bit. (You can see them walking with the actor but looking in an entirely different direction.) Snubby seems to be looking at the camera, at the actor or wherever he's supposed to be looking, in every single scene. As a retired trainer, myself, I can only think...Oh, well done!

The dog used for the TV program is NOT a fox terrier. Fox terriers have a short coat. The actual dog used is a Welsh Terrier. Look at a picture of one of them.
