Lively and alert, the self-assured Wire Fox Terrier has a small, compact build with a weather-resistant coat that is considered hypo-allergenic and a good option for many allergy sufferers. A few short romps in the yard and some obedience or trick training goes a long way for the Wire Fox before he’s ready to relax and be content. Smart to a fault, the breed has a devilish streak and a flare for getting into mischief when bored.
