Ben Fox Terrier in France 2007

Ben the intrepid wire fox terrier explores the Auvergne region of France.

Message from video owner to viewers old and new:
Please note that I was forced to remove the music soundtrack from this video (O Marie by Daniel Lanois) and replace it with a library track, since Mr Lanois challenged for copyright. While he is correct in claiming ownership I might question his judgement on this occasion, since his work was a) not reproduced in a commercial application, b) not used in an inappropriate context, and c) might have gained some additional (albeit minimal by all accounts) exposure.
My apologies to Mr. Lanois, but also to all future viewers of this clip. My thanks to YouTube for providing the easy-to-use library alternative.

i must tell you i am so impressed with your prompt and kind responses. i have loved my dogs dearly for so many years(i'm 60) that it is a great pleasure to enjoy the world access the internet provides and to find others who love their animals this way. your original film of ben in france was absolutely gorgeous and i have shown it to many friends. thanks for the info--i will continue to follow ben and as "the soph" said just now "ruff, rwwwwr".

@rmymsu Thank you, and much obliged. I believe WFTs are special and deserve every mention they can get. Ben, snoozing happily to my right, looks up briefly and smiles as only he can, before returning to chase that never-never rabbit in his dreams.

beautiful video and wft. ben must be fairly young here because his colors are so vivid. our wft sophie is 6 and colors are now pale. we love here but wish she was as sociable as ben. she loves people but we can't let her around other dogs--wants to fight everything.

@rmymsu thanks for your kind comments. Ben gets stripped twice a year, that ensures his coat remains vivid. Takes a lot longer than a simple trim but pays off in the long run. Big ruff to Sophie from Ben :)

What a wonderful place to live. I'm sure your WFT never gets bored. I live in AZ and take my WFT Pip Squeak through the desert all the time. I'm sure she would much rather run through the fields of France.

@Sandra9135 thanks for your kind comments, Sandra. Ben is blushing from ear to ear...

Pretty video. I love WFT too but I also love the Parson Russell. I enjoy watching any video that respectfully portrays the dog and his curiousity. He's very cute.
