Wire Chisoxy

Since the Wire Chisoxy is a relatively new breed, their history isn't well known. However, because it is a mixed breed, there is quite a bit known of both the Chihuahua and the Wire Fox Terrier parents. The Chihuahua has been stated to come from Egypt, others claim China, but the most common belief is that they were abandoned after the Aztecs were conquered in the 16th century by the Spaniards. Later, they were found in Chihuahua, Mexico, hence their name. Many of them were malnourished and sickly at the time, but the hardiest survived to put the breed back on the map. What makes the Chihuahua even more interesting is that while there are countless renditions of them being from Egypt or China, there is also a letter from Christopher Columbus to King Ferdinand of Spain, stating that he had found a small dog in what is now known as Cuba. The dog's description is surprisingly similar to the Chihuahua. Meanwhile, the Wire Fox Terrier originated in 17th century England, when farmers sought an agile hunting breed capable of hunting fox and vermin. During fox hunts, they would remain on horseback with the riders until the foxes were chased into their dens. The Wire Fox Terriers were then unleashed to chase them underground. Perhaps it's no surprise they are National Dog Show winners. For a long time, they were not distinguished from Smooth Fox Terriers, but that changed in 1984. They didn't appear in the United States until the 1800s.
