The Wire Fox Terrier is a small, energetic, and intelligent breed, originally bred for hunting foxes and vermin. They are bold, playful, and highly active, making them great companions for active families. Their wire-haired coat sheds very little but requires regular grooming and hand-stripping to maintain its texture. Training can be moderately challenging, as they are smart but independent, often showing a stubborn streak. Their high energy levels mean they need daily exercise, interactive play, and mental stimulation to stay happy and well-behaved.
The Wire Fox Terrier is an old English breed developed in the 17th century for fox hunting. Its primary role was to flush foxes from their dens during hunts, working alongside foxhounds. The breed's wiry coat and predominantly white coloring made it easy to distinguish from the quarry during hunts.
