If you're looking for basic Wire Fox Terrier information, this page will provide that. This dog is a bundle of energy who will seek sly ways to outwit you, attempt to escape, and basically get whatever she wants any way she can. No matter how in control you think you may be, however, she must be kept on a leash or in a very well-secured yard. At the drop of a hat, she will chase small animals, moving cars, and running kids — and she may not return.
The intelligence of the Wire Fox Terrier is very well-known. Don't be surprised when she outwits you, or you suddenly find her on the other side of the fence. Your best bet is to possess otherworldly amounts or firm, consistent patience.. and not turn your back on her. These dogs were bred and trained to think on their own, and there's no undoing that trait.
This breed is not known for barking much, but if they do, there is usually a very serious problem. They are also known for not backing down to other animals, whether they are badgers, much bigger dogs, or even cows. Unfortunately, their bark is far worse than their bite, and these medium sized dogs can quickly end up on the losing end of a fight they can't help but start.
The unbridled energy of this breed must be burned off with a lot of daily exercise. Unless you are a marathon runner, you probably won't tire out a Wire Fox Terrier. This will be great if you have kids, as these dogs are neither vicious with kids nor so big as to be an accidental danger – and they will play endlessly!
