That is how we produce the Classic beautiful, sound, and correct Smooth Fox Terriers we are proud of. Wild Country is known for the dog behind the dog (aka The shelf), their natural ears, etc… We are dedicated to producing only the healthiest, and all around correct Smooth Fox Terriers.

Our Smooths have the terrier attitude with the love a family can enjoy.

Our lines are very old and pure, we have recently joined with Lil'Itch Smooth Fox Terriers to bring that Modern day Charisma to our Classic Lines. We are VERY excited to see what the future brings to Wild Country.

Wild Country has been round for well over 40+ years, Founded by Mr. Arthur Saylor. Shortly after which, my Father Lee Herr joined and became Breeder, Owner and foremost handler for Wild Country. Wild Country has had MANY top winners, producers, and many still have their ranking in the history books. Click here to see some of the dogs Wild Country has produced: (Wild Country)

Wild Country Smooth Fox Terriers are very diverse dogs, they can truly do what they were bred for naturally, they are smart and an over all terrific dog to live with! Smooths were bred to flush fox and vermin and you better believe our Smooths can still do what they were bred for!

My name is Karen Sue Herr, I am a Second generation Smooth Fox Terrier, breeder/owner/handler. I have been a part of Wild Country my entire life and I am blessed to be a part of this team! I have grown up in Dog shows and I wouldn’t change my childhood/life for anything. I truly enjoy showing my dogs and helping others. I make sure that no matter what my dogs and I ALWAYS have fun in the ring. Growing up I always loved to study breed standards, DNA, Canine Genetics, training, breeding, grooming and so much more. I Love to learn about where all the breeds came and what they were originally bred to do.

I have recently Joined the Lil'Itch Family with my Mentors Suzann Hoesman and Sara Lopez, I am Very greatfull for all they have done for me and have taught me so far. I can not wait to see what the future brings me. They have welcomed me with open arms and have blessed me with so much!

Wild Country has been passed down to me by my father and Art. In hopes that I can continue our wonderful line, and make our presence known again.

We are a small hobby kennel that we take great pride in!

Wild Country has two locations: I am located in Mesa, Arizona and Arthur Saylor is located in Gibbon Glade, Pennsylvania. We work together to breed only the best!

Wild Country is dedicated to ONLY Terriers! This is the reason why:

Art Saylor has always told me that I was never to have anything but a Terrier and that is not what I wanted but soon after I realized that I love and relate to Terriers better than any other group, He has told me this my whole life and it has stuck with me.

I want to take a Moment to thank my Father for EVERYTHING he has done for me and has taught me. I would NEVER have been able to do any of this without him. He is my Mentor. I Love you DAD!!

I would love to send a HUGE thank you to Arthur Saylor, because without him Wild Country would not exist.

I have many Mentors, (which is needed) to help guide me. I would Love to thank everyone by name but that may take too long. SO I would Love to thank everyone who has made an impact on my life and especially with the dogs.

Thank you for your visit,
