The Wire Fox Terrier is a lively, intelligent terrier with a dense, wiry coat and bold personality. Originally bred to hunt foxes, they're fearless, energetic dogs with incredible drive. Their scruffy appearance and confident demeanor make them distinctive companions.
Daily vigorous exercise and mental challenges are essential—long walks, games, and training keep them balanced. Their wiry coat requires regular hand-stripping or professional grooming. Training should be firm but fun—they're smart and can be stubborn. For active families wanting a spirited terrier with classic looks, the Wire Fox Terrier is excellent.
