Any comments on Fox Terrier (Wired) and biting
We are looking at the Fox Terrier (wired) and a couple of web sites
indicate that they bite sometimes. Has anyone had experience with them. Thanks |

Pretty small sample, but I would say that all dogs are capable of becoming biters. Terriers are a tough lot and many will try to intimidate their humans to gain the upper hand. Training is a necessity for all puppies. Ruth, Greta, Woody & Thelma |

As with any other dog behavior, biting is the fault of the owner. My
family has owned 8 wires over the years, and the only times they bite people is accidently -- a pupply cutting teeth or a person getting between two battling wires. |

This is something that owners should understand. I am not saying dogs should be allowed to bite, but dogs do sometimes bite-sometimes for reasons people don't understand. If you have a zero tolerance policy toward biting, then no dog will be suitable for you. |

If you have a zero tolerance policy toward biting, then no dog will be suitable for you. Or rather, you should be willing and able to train the dog to: 1: not bite in play or frustration, and 2: nip softly when nipping in pain. -- The era of moral relativism between those who practice or condone terrorism and those nations who stand up against it must end. Moral relativism doesn't have a place in this discussion and debate. There's no moral way to sympathize with grossly immoral actions. And by so doing, and by trying to do that, unfortunately a fertile field has been created in which terrorism has grown. - Rudolph Giuliani addressing the United Nations, October 1, 2001. |
