FAQs

Is a Fox Terrier a good pet?

Fox Terriers, especially the Wire Fox Terrier, make good family dogs, particularly for homes with older children who understand boundaries. They are intelligent, lively, and playful dogs that need plenty of mental stimulation and physical exercise to prevent boredom and destructive behaviours. While they are affectionate and bond well with their owners, they are also energetic and vocal, so they may not suit those seeking a calm companion. Proper socialisation is important to ensure they get along well with young children and smaller pets due to their natural prey drive.

Are Jack Russells and Fox Terriers the same?

No, Jack Russells and Fox Terriers are distinct breeds. Jack Russells were bred specifically for fox hunting and have a strong prey drive, with very high energy and tenacity. Fox Terriers, while also originally working dogs used in hunting, have different physical features and temperaments. They differ in size and care requirements, making them unique breeds despite some similarities.

What is the difference between a Rat Terrier and a Fox Terrier?

Rat Terriers and Fox Terriers differ in origin, size, and purpose. Rat Terriers were bred in the US mainly for controlling rodents and as companion dogs, while Fox Terriers were bred for fox hunting. Rat Terriers tend to be larger than Toy Fox Terriers and come in various colours. Rat Terriers often continue working in roles related to rodent control, whereas Fox Terriers are mainly companions. Both breeds are intelligent and active, but their energy levels and behaviours reflect their original roles.

What is the life expectancy of a Fox Terrier?

Fox Terriers generally live well into their teens, with an average lifespan of around 12 to 15 years. Their health and longevity depend on factors such as diet, exercise, regular veterinary care, and genetics.
