Meet Massimo
Fox Terrier Wire Coat, 2 years old
My favourite thing about Massimo is...
He is a very intelligent dog, smart and loves to run around outside. He also loves curling up on top of the sofa for a snooze.
The biggest challenge with Massimo is...
He can be very overexcitable.
The most surprising thing about owning a Fox Terrier Wire Coat is...
How fun they are.
What I wish I’d known about Fox Terrier Wire Coats is...
They need a good amount of exercise.
Did you know
The name ‘terrier’ derives from the latin ‘terra’ meaning earth. Small terriers like the Fox Terrier were original bred to go to ground, down into the holes that foxes and badgers live in. This means being small enough to fit into those holes, brave enough to face a frightened fox or badger head on, and nimble enough to drive them out of their den. It is therefore not a surprise that many terriers believe themselves to be far bigger and more fearsome than their actual size suggests.
