    Fox Terriers

    The very first Wire Fox Terrier to be officially recognised and recorded was a dog called Old Tip. The Master of the Sinnington Hounds bred him in Yorkshire in the mid eighteen hundreds and although his pedigree remains a bit of mystery he is the foundation of the terriers that are around today.
