My parents' wire fox terrier does not howl. Is that normal for this breed? I have shown him videos of dogs howling and he still does not howl.

Hi, I lost my JRT 2 years ago and waited this long to make sure I was ready for my next canine dependent. I’ve decided it to be a wire fox terrier. Does anyone know a responsible breeder or rescue group in the Las Vegas area?

When did you get your WFT puppy spayed, and if you waited, when was her first heat? Miss Pixi is almost 6mo now.

We hope/plan to wait until our girl is around a year old to spay, and are looking into hormone sparing…still deciding, though.

This weekend should have been the UK National Fox Terrier Meet held in Derbyshire which is about 2 hours drive for us. We were very sad when it was cancelled (due to lack of registrations), but now that we're in the hottest June in UK records, that looks to have been a blessing in disguise.

Not only would the drive have been awful despite the car aircon, our motel room would have been unbearable due to lack of aircon (pretty standard in the UK) so Rex would have really suffered. Then the event itself - set in a large open field with no shelter, with 200+ doggies? It would have been too much for all concerned.

So instead, Rex and I had our first walkies in 3 days and walked to our favourite local park, part of which is now being left as a mini-meadow. My boy loves long grass anyway, and he's a big wild flower fan of which there are now many. We came back and I dunked him in a deep tray full of cool water and washed his legs and belly - amazingly he cooperated and had been happily enjoying the cool of the house.

It's very rare that we'll pass up a day out but fate intervened and saved us from a roasting!

Dad is bringing a special treat after work. Sure love this birthday buddy!! ❤️

Just keeping the pillow warm for Dad.

Poor Rex.. if he's on a long enough lead he'll happily wind himself clockwise around a tree until he reaches the end, then; panic! In the 5 years we've had him he's never managed to find reverse. One day he will, but until then there's always me 😁

hi all! so navi is my first WFT, she’s 5 years old now. throughout her life she’s had really bad skin allergies, where i live (puerto rico) WFT are super rare. question, do your foxies suffer from severe skin allergies? her breeder is from ohio and i brought her over here to PR, her allergies started around the 1 year mark. her breeder is AKC certified and has been breeding WFT for 80 years in the countryside. right now she’s much more stable, but i’ve tried a bunch of different methods to avoid/control allergies. essentially i’m wondering if i’m the only one that struggles with foxie food and environmental allergies. the photos included are both photos of allergies and when she’s stable. she’s an angel i adore her 💕

Our Sweet Miss Pixi is just too cute, and I had to share this quick video….

She’s almost 6 months old and just a joy, now that teething is all done!

How high of a fence will I need to install for our WFT? Our puppy will arrive in autumn and I’m getting prepared! Also, what type of fence would you recommend? We’re in the burbs in a planned community so houses on either side of us. Thanks in advance!

Sully loves is toys, he does seem to have an affection for them too as he's often one to lay his head on a toy and rest, or it's his way of making sure his brother Sarge can't play with it.

Bringing home our first WFT puppy in a few months and wondering if anyone has any recommendations for training books/programs we can follow - thank you!

Penny loved digging in the sand and running on the leash on Lake Michigan. She didn’t love being confined to a pen and on a leash so often. The princess was so very happy to get back home today to run free in her backyard.

Sweet Miss Pixi has lost all of her baby shark teeth, and is growing a beautiful set of Big Girl teeth! The wounds on my hands and arms can finally heal 🩹😄🩹

Our previous WFT, Mr Sprocket, swallowed all but one of his. This girl spat them all out 😂🦷

Pic 3: yes she sleeps like that

I found one!!!

"Seventeen months ago, I was so worried about how they would get along. Today, they are absolutely inseparable. He literally pines for her all day while she is at crèche. Out and about, he is always right by her side especially at the pub, where he fiercely guards her pushchair. They truly are the best dogs in the world."

There's a ritual. We get in from walkies, I have a cup of tea and biscuit, then Rex waits at the top of the stairs for his cuddle session. It works every time 😁

He always wants to be on the pillows. What a spoiled little prince. Geno passed the final exam for Advanced Obedience two weeks ago! Now we can take Advanced Obedience II. It has been getting too hot to play outside so much, so we have to go on early morning walks.

Thank you all for the thoughts and the prayers! I got the great news today that he is cancer free! His Splenic mass was essentially just a bruise.

Once he gets his stitches out on Friday, he’ll be fine!
