From Maureen, Canada I have a Wire Haired Fox Terrier and he's a wonderful companion. After
having many different breeds of dogs, I decided to get a Fox Terrier this time.
He's about 2 years old and is a little ray of sunshine! (Most of the time)
Terriers can be very stubborn and "deaf" if they want to be. The
trick is to make sure that they know who's boss from a very young age - even
though I think they will always try to be boss! If you are thinking of
getting one, you will be making a great choice! maureen.harvey@sympatico.ca
From Katie, Georgia I fell in love with Wire (wired!) Fox Terriers after watching the original
"Thin Man" movies. At that time I knew absolutely nothing about
these dogs, so my husband & I contacted various breeders for first hand
information. All were very positive, but cautioned how headstrong and
independent these dogs can be. This actually strengthened my resolve to
have one-I was not interested in a "couch potato" pet. After
many conversations, books, and puppy visits, we purchased Asta (yes Asta-I
know!) when she was three months old. She is a very intelligent, active,
sweet and loyal companion. I could not even imagine life these past eleven
years without her-she is as lively and inquisitive and headstrong now (and has
those lapses of "deafness", too!) as she was the first day we brought
her home. This dog will always be in my heart-and a Wire will always be part of
my life.

I have a toy fox terrier and he is a
wonderful dog! I have a 6 year old and he is
great with her. I also have 2 chow chows and
he gets along great with one of them and the
other he doesn't like for some reason. He
growls at him sometimes but nothing too
extreme. If anyone is thinking about getting
a toy fox terrier i would absolutely recommend
it. I have had nothing but great experiences
with mine!
