Breed info

Wire Fox Terrier
The Wire Fox Terrier may resemble its smooth-coated cousin, but it probably does not share the ancestry. This breed descended from rough-coated Black and Tan Terriers and developed as a fox hunter, driving the animals from hiding places. Wire Fox Terriers have been involved in many adventures. They served the English in World War I and "Igloo" accompanied Admiral Byrd to the Antarctic.

Interbreeding between the Smooth and Wire types has ceased, and the popularity of the longer-coated variety has grown over the years. Hunters at heart, these dogs make companionable pets with the proper training.
