The Fox Terrier: Energy and Boldness in Quebec

The Fox Terrier packs explosive character into a compact elegant body. With 6 listings on QuebecAnnonce, this historic breed attracts lovers of lively fearless dogs in Quebec. Whether in Montreal, Laval or Gatineau, the Fox Terrier brings daily adventure and entertainment.

Two varieties exist: Smooth Fox Terrier and Wire Fox Terrier. Both weigh 15 to 19 pounds. The Wire, with its distinctive beard and eyebrows, is most recognizable. Their coat is predominantly white with black or tan markings.

An Authentic Terrier Temperament

The Fox Terrier embodies the terrier spirit: brave, determined, lively and sometimes stubborn. Developed in England to hunt foxes in their dens, the hunting instinct remains strong. Despite its adventurous side, it is an incredibly fun and loyal companion — cheerful, playful and always ready for action.

The Fox Terrier Through Quebec’s Seasons

The Wire variety adapts better to Canadian winters thanks to its thicker coat, but both benefit from a jacket in extreme cold. Their boundless energy keeps them active in snow. Wire Fox Terrier grooming requires hand stripping to maintain proper coat texture. Consult the AKC for detailed breed information and browse our Quebec dog listings.
