2026

National specialty

The most recent national specialty was Sunday, October 4, 2026, at the Montgomery County Kennel Club show in Macungie, Pennsylvania, judged by Mrs. Rosalind Kramer. Across the Montgomery weekend, Wire entries ran in the mid-30s at all four shows — 35 at Hatboro Thursday and Friday, 34 at Devon Saturday, 34 at Montgomery Sunday — with a solid specials entry each day. That’s a healthy, competitive breed ring: you’ll need a good dog, well presented, and you’ll earn every point. (Entry counts from the official 2026 judging programs, via ThePetAdvisor’s Montgomery weekend guide.)

Regional specialties

Wire Fox Terrier Club of the Central States — the only club in the United States dedicated solely to the Wire, founded 1944.
