Notes
The Fox Terrier is one of the most famous terriers, and has been known in Britain for as long as anyone can remember. In year 194, a Oppianus wrote a poem about the tiny British wire-coated dog, which describes the typical terrier temperament.
In dog shows held between 1864 and 1866, three dogs were shown that can be found in most modern Fox Terriers' pedigrees, regardless of their coat type. They were Old Trap, Old Tartar, and Old Jock. In 1898 Ch Cackler of Nottinghamshire was born, and he is said to be found in all modern Fox Terrier's pedigrees. Today the Wire Fox Terrier is one of the breeds that has won most BIS out of all breeds in the world.
The Fox Terrier should appear agile and lively, with a rather long and flat skull and long muzzle. The eyes should have an alert expression. The ears are small, V-shaped and carried close to the head. The neck is rather long, muscular and dry. The body is short, straight and strong with a deep chest and powerful topline. The front legs are straight, the hind well angulated with low hocks. The tail is carried highly but preferably not bent over the back.
