Meet the breeder
I'm Lisa E., the breeder behind White Barn Wires located in Traverse City, MI. We live in beautiful Northern Michigan on 2.5 acres with our 3 dogs. Jonathan and I have been married just 3 years and we are living our best life. Breeding our Foxies is never going to be a full time thing, just wanting to add clear genetics to this gorgeous breed.
Q. & A. with Lisa
Why did you start breeding?
Had my Gus wisdom panel tested and he came back clear. All recommended that he could be a good stud. I contacted a breeder, who was also concerned about the health and welfare of the breed and Gus got his first experience with being a dad. He has sired four beautiful litters with them and one with our girl Hazel, also clear. (Litter Born 6/18/2025)What makes your program special?
Our home setting and attention to the puppies every need. Our dogs are our family, and because we are lucky enough to have two genetically clear dogs, we decided to become a part of the solution to some of the problems that plague the WFT breed.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Parent dogs
Hazel, mom
Wire Fox Terrier
About Hazel
Hazel is the epitome of a wire fox terrier. She is spunky, tenacious and ridiculously agile. A little more aloof as a puppy, did not like being woken up at all…but now she’s a cuddler. Smart, a serious ball dog, and patient with grooming and nail trimming. She is a wonderful girl!
Good health testing

Gus, dad
Wire Fox Terrier
About Gus
My sweet boy, Gus has quite a calm temperament compared to most Wire fox terriers. He is extremely attached to me, follows me, sleeps with us….extremely loving, a little shy to loud sounds, but he is the nicest dog! He loves car rides and field trip trips to Home Depot. His unique looks only add to his entirely beautiful character.
