The Coat of the Fox Terrier is harsh and dirt resistant. This makes the Fox Terrier easy to clean; bathing is not only undesired, but harmful, because it destroys the protective layer of the skin and coat.
The Wire as well as the Smooth change their coats twice a year. While the Smooth's coat changing is done independently, the Wire needs special grooming to keep its coat harsh, colourful and healthy.
Unbelievable, but true: This is the same Wire Dog | |
