The Wire Fox Terrier is a highly elegant, intensely athletic, and fiercely courageous hunting dog. Bred in England to flush foxes from underground dens, they are incredibly fast, fiercely intelligent, and possess absolutely massive energy reserves wrapped in a harsh, wiry coat.
The Wire Fox Terrier is the quintessential terrier: bossy, highly alert, and intensely driven. They are brilliant problem solvers who will quickly invent destructive games if bored. They absolutely require an active owner who can provide vigorous daily running and firm leadership. Their wiry coat requires regular hand-stripping to maintain its unique texture.
