Wire Fox Terrier — size comparison — facts and sources

The Wire Fox Terrier is a small, energetic dog with a square outline, a dense wiry coat and a distinctive beard. Intelligent, bold and curious, it retains the independence and hunting drive associated with terriers.

Developed in Britain for work around fox and badger dens, it needed agility and determination underground. Its tough coat helped protect it from rough weather and vegetation. As a companion, it benefits from active owners who can provide exercise, training and mental stimulation.
