Nora
The Wire Fox Terrier is your typical Terrier. It has a drive unlike any dog, a determination and devotion to its family, job, and own life! It feeds off of power and its readiness to strive for only the best. This dog is incredible; excelling at everything it is handed and bred to do.
The Wire Fox Terrier has a keen expression; it can spring into action whenever it needs to. It is active like any other Terrier, playful and ready for a job. They are highly trainable dogs, which allows one to train them obedience agility and any other test the terrier is capable of.
Lupe
Their coats are pretty manageable. They are usually and predominately white colored, with black or tan markings. Their coats are wiry and dense, the coat which makes up their name! They were in the same category as the Smooth Fox Terrier, but they were separated in 1984. So this is somewhat of a new breed. They descended from the black and tan Terrier, like most Terriers do. The Wire Fox Terrier was developed from the British Isles in the 17th century, and they were primarily bred to, as they say, “go to ground”. They would dig endlessly looking for vermin and other small game in their dens.
The Wire Fox Terriers at the kennels are extremely playful and active. You could let one out and they would go running; as far as they could go, and never tire out. They would love to hang around the other dogs but definitely liked to be independent at times and would wander off on their own, looking for a job to do.
Puppy
As for figuring if this dog is right for you and your family, well take a wild guess! The dog is, as stated above, highly trainable. Which means you won’t be wasting your time on a stubborn dog. They like to do jobs, specific to their breeds, so an active lifestyle is a must. They love their families and are very responsive to them; making sure they are safe is a priority. They are a good type of watch dog because they are playful, active and fun, but can be bold with other people, without being aggressive. Their playful nature and love for children is great for a family’s needs.
The dog at the top is Nora, one of the female Wire Fox Terriers at the kennel. The second picture is of Lupe, one of Nora’s puppies, and the last photo is of another Wire Fox Terrier puppy of Nora’s. Below is a video, courtesy of YouTube member ledwatch, of a Wire Fox Terrier named Basil and what he does after getting a bath (pretty cute!). If you visit ledwatch’s channel on YouTube, there are more videos of Basil and his friend Ashton, a Schnauzer. Enjoy!
