The Wire Fox Terrier originated in England and was bred to hunt down rodents and foxes. Their job would be to scare the animal out of its den while their master would be ready to shoot. This dog is similar to the Smooth Fox Terrier but they are different breeds that are used today as companions.
This breed has a medium length coat that has a dense, wiry texture and a long rectangular muzzle. They have an athletic body and muscular legs that give them their speed and incredible reflexes. Naturally the Wire Fox Terrier?s tail is long but for show purposes will be docked. Their ears are triangular and they stay pricked upwards giving them a soft yet curious appearance.
The Wire Fox Terrier is a confident, feisty breed that will bite first and ask questions later. These dogs are animated with their masters and will be good family pets. They adore children but can be very rambunctious so it is recommended that older kids interact with these dogs as very young children might become overwhelmed or frightened.
