Introduction

Boasting a distinctive rough coat and a bold, spirited temperament, the Wire Fox Terrier is a small to medium-sized breed renowned for its energy and intelligence. Alert and curious, these dogs carry a confident air, complemented by their predominantly white bodies adorned with black or tan markings. Their adventurous nature makes them ideal for active families, but they require regular mental and physical stimulation to stave off boredom. A history of hunting prowess underlines their tenacity and fearless disposition, making early socialization and firm training essential.
