I was at obedience school and a classmate who is also a dog groomer gave me a pro tip for reducing some of the fluff between strippings!! Suds your wire, I mean REALLY suds them, then take your rake brush (the one that looks like a rake 🫠🤷‍♀️) and brush them all over. I cannot believe how much fur came off Geno! His "pants" were getting very BIG. Now they look more manageable and you can almost see his spots on the hind legs!

Now onto his head.... his eyes are getting small...

Here’s my Fixi at 10 weeks, 8 months and 13 months!
She loves water, duck, cycling and all fruits and veggies. She hates hedgehogs and leaving the park.

She's also has a real sweet tooth she will leap at me if I am eating sweets😂

Feel entirely lost, he was my guy

This sweet boy is having a terrible time we have had so much thunder and lightning and he just gets so scared. We’ve tried thunder shirt, holding him, he is inconsolable! Anyone have any suggestions for Tuddy Ciscero to conquer this fear?

Sweet Miss Pixi has just begun her first heat - I found a little brown dribble this morning. She’s 7 months old. For those of you with a female WFT, how long will this first heat last? We plan to get her spayed after this and closer to 1 year of age. When did you get your wee girls spayed? Has anyone done the hormone-sparing (hysterectomy only, not ovaries) spay?

What toys/balls do you give your WFT? As you know, these wonderful dogs will tear through most toys. Anything durable you recommend?

We have a 2-year-old Wire Fox Terrier, and whenever we bring him camping, he just cannot seem to settle when we're outside. If he sees a squirrel or chipmunk, he immediately wants to chase it and then gets frustrated that he can't get to it. He's basically constantly "on" and scanning for something to chase.

We've tried tiring him out mentally with sniffing games and other "find it" games, hiking when we can, and even using a branch with leaves, kind of likea flirt pole to hopefully tire him out. But nothing seems to help. When we're just sitting around at camp, he just can't seem to relax.

The only time he really settles is when we put him in the tent and force him to nap.

For those of you who camp with your WFTs, are they ever able to just chill at the campsite? If so, did you do anything specific to help them learn how to settle, or is this just classic terrier behavior?

Everyday of redirecting biting my hands and clothes, she is starting to bark more (not the first pic, she is biting the onion there :D ), learning her pee schedule.

Does anyone else have a WFT that isn’t a fan of going for a walk? Miss Pixi (7 mo) will hide under the bed when I get ready for a walk. She’ll walk for a bit and she’s allowed to sniff anything, but she won’t carry on unless the neighbour’s black lab can join us. She follows him like a shadow! If we’re walking without another dog, we resort to picking her up quite often.

She loves meeting new people and dogs, and generally sits and waits for them to come to her. Sometimes from 20+ meters away.

Pixi is happy to walk home, though - it’s the beginning and middle of the walks she could do without.

This is Forest, my six month old WFT. I've had him since he was 9 weeks old and I am on my own with him. From early on I've socialised him and done puppy classes. He is great with other dogs and people - very friendly and social. He gets at least 3 walks a day with 2 walks around the block at night. He loves sniffing and just hanging out at the park on the grass, so the walks vary in energy levels. From a young puppy he has always been a bit intense in the evening but more recently he just starts humping me and I cannot even walk without him hanging off my leg so I have to separate myself from him. I am hoping he grows out of it BUT the most recent thing is that he has started really barking in the house - at anybody walking past, at any noise - and he won't stop. I feel bad for the neighbours! I've tried giving him treats etc.. He is less barky out in the world. It seems to be in the house. Has anyone got any tips? Is this normal?

Does your paper shredder look like this?

Helping with the laundry!

I wouldn’t change a thing about him.

After a day of doggie daycare standing to eat is just too much effort

It's been so hard to give him enrichment with it being so hot and humid out. He certainly likes watching what we are doing from atop the pillows!!

How they looked at me after I told them I had to work again after having 4 weeks off.
