Wire Fox Terriers have a dense and wiry coat that doesn't shed as much as many other breeds. Regular grooming, including brushing, trimming, or hand-stripping, is necessary to keep their coat in excellent condition and minimize shedding indoors. These grooming practices not only help manage shedding but also promote skin health and prevent matting.
