A little mischief.
A lifetime together.
Family-raised terriers. Carefully chosen homes.
Support that never ends.
Stephen’s life with Wire Haired Fox Terriers began with Nellie, on the day he was born. That lifelong love still shapes how we raise our dogs and choose their homes. Genetics, happiness and health matter more to us than fancy awards — we choose bloodlines with those priorities at heart.
Our puppies are not an off-the-shelf purchase. We have waiting lists and carry out background checks on prospective homes. The list needn’t be long, but don’t expect a puppy in the same month. The right match matters more than the date.
Talk about your future companion
Each year, we bring WHFT enthusiasts together for walks in Shropshire and Staffordshire. Familiar faces, new friends and plenty of terrier character.
When your puppy comes home, we don’t disappear. Call or message whenever you need advice — our guidance and support are for life.

“I contacted Stephen about his puppies and his response was informative and really helpful. We collected Maisie in November after having almost daily updates and videos of her progress. We met her mum and littermate when we collected her, and she is a delightful intelligent little pup, who settled in really well right from the first night.”
“We had a wonderful experience getting our Wire Haired Fox Terrier puppy from Stephen and his wife Sylvia. From the very beginning, they were incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about their dogs. It was obvious that the puppies were raised with so much care and attention. Stephen took the time went above and beyond to answer all of our questions and made sure we felt confident and prepared before bringing our little Tobias home. Sylvia was equally lovely and welcoming, and you can really see how much love they put into raising their dogs…”
“Stephen I can’t thank you enough for our little oatcake. Your help and knowledge is brilliant. So good to know you are there with help and advice. Highly recommend you to any future buyer. Lovely to meet you and Sylvia and your beautiful dogs.”
“I’ve followed Delwires for a number of years now. I initially made contact with Stephen around 8 years ago when I privately rehomed a foxie and we had some questions about his pedigree and health situations (he was not a Delwire) and Stephen was amazingly knowledgeable and helpful with our boy. Fast forward a number of years and we d…”
