History

The West Highland White Terrier, better known as Westie, is a former Scottish hunting terrier. The little terriers from which the Westie they served humans for many years as watchdogs and hunters. It also, they made themselves useful in the house every day. Keeping houses free from rats and mice, driving away a marten or fox that wanted to feed on chickens or pigeons at night, they proved to be useful helpers at home and in court. The true strength of West Highland White Terrier was active fox hunting, the marten and the otter. The little terrier fearlessly and determinedly chased these thieves to the furthest corner of his den., where they were trying to get them out of the burrow, as the hunters counted. Like his three Scottish brothers, Skye and Cairn Terrier, the West Highland White Terrier he is one of the four descendants of these old men Scottish hunting terrier.

Like the others, comes from the great gene pool of all those Scottish terriers. Only through intentional breeding, that is to say, artificial separation, Scotland's four genetically separated lower terrier breeds were born. Its current form as "West Highland White Terrierยป is the result of breeding directed as a companion dog and for displaying the latest 100 years. Until 1924 was raised and led along with the current Cairn-Terrier. The pure white color is the result of a selection of external traits from the time of the breeding of the sample.. It is an expression of efforts to make these four originally identical brothers more and more distinct from one another.. In 1907 the breed was recognized by the British Kennel Club. It was always a fairly rare breed in Europe. That suddenly changed around 1990.

The advertising industry recognized the attractive effect of this smart and happy little terrier. Dog food brands like ยซCรฉsarยป remain inseparably connected with Westie. The nice one Westie became widely known as a means of advertising dog food and later other items as well. Many people knew him as "the television dog.". He was temporarily better known than the Sausage dog or German shepherd. The serious breeding scene could not meet the demand for puppies from Westie. This could not be said twice by the multipliers from Germany and all over Europe. Dubious vendors massively selling puppies in the dog market.

History

Terriers form a large group of dogs. Its name is derived from the Latin "Terra" for earth. So they were dogs for work on the land. The first evidence is given by the ancient Romans. Already in the Middle Ages terriers are described in detail. His homeland is in the British Isles. Terriers existed throughout the country. In the stables they kept the little vermin. Even the big rats were not a problem for them. The hens, pigeons and rabbits protected them from martens and foxes. To keep chasing foxes, the terriers were sent to the trench. They were supposed to get the fox out of the hole. All these tasks required an enthusiastic commitment, special courage, independent thinking and so-called predatory acuity. Terriers were the world champions in the then "sport" of rat biting. They were fearless and with every fiber of their being they strove to do their job to the best of their ability..

We can still experience all of these qualities in our terriers today.. They make the special charm of these dogs. Terriers come in all sizes, but they are mostly quite small dogs up to the Yorkshire Terrier of today. But they were all once very busy working dogs. Most small terriers like Yorkie, the Westie or the Scottish they made their home in the cramped working-class settlements of emerging industry in England or Scotland. Despite her sometimes quite dainty appearance today, they are still whole dogs, yet. They are concise reps with their own heads and bold temperament. Great terriers like him Airedale Terrier they belong to the first service dogs, who worked for the police, customs or army worldwide. Small and medium terriers are still in high demand as hunting dogs, as the Parson Russel Terrier, el Fox Terrier o el German Hunting Terrier.

In times past all terriers formed a large group of dogs, that were especially suited to the tasks mentioned here. Depending on the special field of application or the surface of the earth, formed different regional lines, that nevertheless remained connected to each other. Only modern pedigree dog breeding created dog breeds genetically separate from this, as we know them today. Like this, no less than 34 races, mostly native to England, Ireland, Scotland or Wales. Just the German Hunting Terrier comes from Germany.

Physical characteristics

The Fox Terrier (wire) he is an active and happy dog, of small volume in which bones of good substance and great physical strength are combined, never heavy or rough. Its structure presents a perfect balance, particularly with regard to the proportions between the skull and the muzzle, and in the same way between the height at the cross region and the length of the body from the point of the shoulder to the point of the buttock, they look roughly the same. It stands tall like a hunting horse that has a short back and is able to cover a lot of ground.

SIZE AND WEIGHT:

Height to the cross region: It should not exceed 39 cm in males; females are slightly smaller.
The ideal weight of a developed specimen is 8,25 for males; for females it is slightly lower.

Character and skills

They are lively, bright, concise. They don't avoid fights. Little ones especially tend to start fights with other dogs of any size due to their chronic overconfidence.. In general, especially the little ones tend to call themselves emperor. This is a challenge for the teacher or caregiver. As construction hunting dogs they are able to make their own decisions, which means they like to be stubborn and stubborn. Terriers can quickly become overbearing if their humans haven't made it clear who determines the house rules.

They are extremely cooperative and docile. It is a great pleasure to work with them. Terriers are faithful to their humans and are very suitable as family dogs, if your strong personality is not only respected, but also appreciated and acted. Hunting terriers especially are characterized by their intelligence and extraordinary courage. They are even able to search for a draft boar, lower it and then bark without hurting yourself. Of course they still go to the dens of the fox and the badger. Even if the Yorkies are carried on the arm with bows – and they are happy to bear it – even the smallest terrier is essentially a daredevil and not a lapdog. They are bundles of energy that love and need a physical and mental challenge..

Fitness

Keeping a terrier has no problems. They have no demands regarding the size of the apartment. Only grooming is mandatory. The biggest challenge is his temperament. They need physical and mental challenges. Many are very successful hunters. As a companion dog they are suitable for a wide spectrum. Almost all terriers are great for various canine sports. As a running partner, of a cyclist. Your high level of fitness, their often vigorous health and willingness to work mean both a challenge and an obligation to their masters and mistresses.

Like most terriers they have a strong hunting instinct., must be kept on a leash in nature. Terriers are very suitable as playmates for children, They are designed for any kind of fun and are robust enough to play with children.. But, the house rules must be correct and the terrier must know his role in the family. Even the smallest terriers shouldn't have room to live out their overconfidence and become the children's school teacher..

Fox Terrier (wire) Education

Typical terriers can be trained and educated very well.. The clear announcement and the consequence are the miracle words here based on a respectful and loving relationship with the master or caretaker.. Especially with little terriers, education is an often underestimated chapter.. Although they are cute and delicate, they are still a real terrier. They need a consistent education from the puppy's age. Most terriers can be trained on the basis of a good education for the most different tasks..

Fox Terrier (wire) care and health

Terriers are usually very easy to care for. Apart from those with short hair, most terriers need a regular haircut. But they lose comparatively little hair.

Most terriers are in robust health. Exceptions to this rule are temporarily fashionable or outward-facing breeds such as Yorkie, the Westi or the Bedlington Terrier, in whose population copper toxicosis has spread excessively, a disease that attacks the liver. The tendency to dwarf with copies of less than 3 kg, which is particularly notable in the Yorkie, leads to damage that can be described as nurturing torture.

Nutrition / Food

Nutrition is not problematic. But, breeds that are oriented towards outward appearances tend to suffer from allergies, what can make a food diet necessary.

Wire terrier Fox Terrier life expectancy

Life expectancy depends on the size of the dogs. The smallest dogs, but not too small, have a longer life expectancy. as a rule, terriers enjoy a long life as a dog, often over 15 years. Lines bred over generations for "beauty" and especially extremely small specimens, so-called minis dogs, Toy- o Teacup, they usually die much earlier.

Buy a Terrier

It is best to buy your puppy locally from a breeder affiliated with one of the terrier breeding clubs or you can look around the shelters.. Among 1.000 and 1.500 euros must be planned as costs.

History

The first fox terrier, which were first presented at an English dog show in the mid-19th century, they were almost white dogs, especially suitable for fox hunting. Due to his courage, their endurance and ability to track and reach the foxes hidden in their burrow, little terriers soon found a large following among England's hunting and dog lovers. thanks to his physique, the intrepid dogs were able to get into the tubes Fuchsbau narrower. The purpose of breeding for fox hunting was also always the main focus when selecting suitable breeding dogs and ultimately gave the dogs their breed name Fox Terrier. (Fox = Zorro, terre = Earth).

In 1876 the newly founded Fox Terrier Club introduced the first breed standard for the Fox Terrier.
