Oor die ras
The Wire Fox Terrier was developed in England alongside its smooth-coated relative to bolt foxes from their dens for mounted hunts. Its dense, wiry coat protected it from thorns and weather, and its white colour made it visible in the field.
It is an energetic, curious dog that wants to be involved in everything. It thrives with active owners who enjoy daily walks, games and training. It can be noisy and pushy if bored, and it is keen to chase small animals, so a secure garden and plenty of stimulation are needed.
