A little about Wire-haired fox terriers
Wire-haired fox terriers are bold and fearless, and are hence prone to mischief. True to their hunting ancestry, they require a lot of stimulation, however make very animated family pets. They may be too rambunctious for children under 7 years old. Their spirited nature means they are astute guard dogs but require a firm persistent owner.
