Baby "Flirt" with her breeder/co-owner Peggy
With our move to California, we've put all breeding plans on hold for awhile. However, we are happy to refer people to other reputable breeders that we know personally. Our new ginger girl, Flirt, (shown above with her breeder/co-owner, Peggy Bennett) is now seven months old and we are enjoying watching her grow up. However, with no immediate breedings planned, we're happy to refer you to friends and organizations we know personally.
For resources for finding a puppy, a young adult or a retired show dog, please contact one of the following:
Hiwire (New York State)
Chip and Sally Lowe, my friends and co-breeders on many of our Wires, occasionally have puppies
and they often know if Wires are or
will be available from the Midwest to the east coast. Contact Chip at hiwire@msn.com
Sqwire Wire Fox Terriers (Wisconsin)
Gail and Michael Obradavich usually have a litter each year. They will also
be able to refer people to other Midwest breeders who may have pups. Their
email is sqwire@wi.rr.com
American Fox Terrier Club Breeder Referral
website
New ads go up at the beginning of each month and advertisers must be members
of AFTC.
http://www.foxterrierbreeders.info
The Wire Fox Terrier Club of the Central
States membership list
Members are listed by state and those who consider themselves to be
"active" breeders will have a small gold mark by their names. That
does not mean that they have or expect puppies, but it is a good place to
start. Members are listed by state.

AFTC Rescue contact
Very few of the Wires that come through the AFTC are actual rescues but
breeders do often let the contact, Winnie Stout, know when they have adult
dogs available. Winnie will also post your request on lists for Wire
exhibitors/breeders.
email: whstout@earthlink.net
or, wstout@rockyhill.org
Abandoned Terrier Rescue Association (Southern
California)
They are a Southern California non-profit rescue group looking for
experienced terrier owners who are interested in adopting abandoned &
homeless purebred Wire Fox Terriers, Welsh Terriers, Lakeland Terriers, and
Airedale Terriers.

Another way to connect with reputable breeders is to attend an AKC dog show. The best time to talk to show people is after they are done showing.
How
Do Prospective Owners
Get On Our List?
When we do have a litter, we usually keep an online diary of what is happening so the prospective owners can follow along until they come to pick up their own special pup. A sample page from Cal and Izzy's litter is below so you can see what to expect.
"Baby Cal"
It will be quite awhile before we have any puppies in California. When we do have a litter, all the information will be posted here. If , at that time, you think you might be interested in one of our puppies, the first step is to go to our Info For Prospective Owners page and work through the links there before contacting us. When we have or are expecting puppies, we usually have several inquiries each week and this is the procedure that that works best for us. Sending an application in no way obligates you.
