What's New?

There is a new page where members, exhibitors and spectators can access information on the WFTCCS 2008 show in Sharonville, Ohio. It can be accessed from the "2008 Show" button on the left. Deadlines are already posted and updates will appear as they become available.
New Research On Early Spay/Neuter
There is some new research on the advisability of early spay and neuter. Most reputable breeders do sell their pups with a spay/neuter requirement but the recommended time table for this may vary. If you are a prospective owner, this is a decision which should be made with the breeder of your puppy and should be based on his experience and your situation and the terms of your contract. However, this link will give breeders and owners alike some additional food for thought. This is a 12 page document but most of the information you need will be on the first 2 or 3 pages.

Our What's New page will be changing each month. Come back often and you'll find photos, articles and tips for breeders, exhibitors and owners of fox terriers! In the meantime, scroll down to see a description of what the Wire Fox Terrier is like!
The
Wire
Fox Terrier is a small black and white disturbance which afflicts and delights
many families. The Fox Terrier has straight legs, an active expressive face, a
lean well-shaped head, talkative eyes and a nose which leads it from one
misdemeanor to another. Originally he had a liberal tail, but it has been
revised and edited by man. This was done because when a Fox Terrier's tail was
as active as his head, it took two people to watch him. The wire Fox
Terrier is a house pet, and is clean and dainty in his habits. He lives on meat,
milk, potatoes, mice, old shoes, curtains, books, hats and tablecloths. In
return for this diet, he guards the house with unremitting ferocity. No burglar
can come near without dislodging an eruption of barks from the faithful dog. He
also guards the house against all cats, dogs, taxicabs, late pedestrians, dead
leaves and moonbeams which may chance to pass at night. The Wire Fox
Terrier is vivacious, audacious, ingenious, merciful, hysterical, wheedlesome,
companionable, affectionate, optimistic, fickle, restless and irrepressible. He
is, in fact the Chorus Girl of the dog family.
