Archie is a handsome four-year old Wire Fox Terrier that came into our
care recently.
He is very well-behaved, friendly, easy to walk on his lead and has a
nice temperament. Often, Wire Fox Terriers are abandoned or surrendered
for reasons that may include running away instead of coming on a
command, chasing cars, bicycles, or other dogs, But these are actually
normal behaviors for a breed designed to hunt not only foxes, but also
badgers and boars.
This breed has a coat that needs regular grooming, and when Archie
arrived into our shelter he was badly in need of a good haircut. He
could hardly see where he was going. He needed a tight haircut to get
the coat back in shape again. Our picture shows the before and after
Archie, and also what we predict he will look like in a few weeks time
when his hair grows again. He has been adopted recently and will enjoy
his new home where there will be lots of space to match his boundless
energy and enquiring nature.
We were delighted to have been invited to promote our charity at the
Carole Nash Historic Festival at Mondello Park. The two day event
featured vintage, classic, racing cars and motorcycles from the glamour
of the roaring twenties through to the swinging sixties. With live
music, racing and entertainment this nostalgic look back at the great
cars and bikes of the past was very special.
