✅ Fearless & Confident: These dogs have big-dog energy packed into a small body.

✅ Playful & Energetic: Daily walks, games, and mental challenges keep them happy.
✅ Low-Shedding but High-Maintenance Coat: Their wiry fur requires regular grooming and hand-stripping.
🐾 The breed was developed in England in the 1700s to help hunters flush foxes out of dens.
🐾 A Wire Fox Terrier named Asta starred in Hollywood classics like The Thin Man.
🐾 They have strong prey drives, so they may chase small animals (including the family cat).
This energetic, intelligent, and adventurous breed thrives with owners who love to play and train. However, Wire Fox Terriers need consistent training, daily exercise, and firm but loving leadership to stay happy. If you want a fun-loving, spunky, and loyal best friend, this breed might be perfect for you.
