The Wire Fox Terrier shares the same lively personality as the Smooth variety but with a dense, wiry coat that gives them a scruffy charm. They’re bold, energetic, and full of mischief, thriving in homes where they can stay active and engaged.
Their wiry coat requires hand-stripping or professional grooming to stay tidy. Training should be firm but fun, as they’re intelligent and quick to test boundaries. With enough activity and structure, Wire Fox Terriers become spirited, loyal companions bursting with personality.
