I'm currently owning my third WFT. My first one was the most energetic but my second and current one are very calm (for WFT). But one walk a day for 30 minutes?! Are you kidding me? My WTF (the calmest one) requires at least 45 minutes twice a day, most of it of leash and me riding a bike. For several days a week she needs to run free and play with other dogs, coming to run around the barn (sniffing, hunting mice and rats) and/or accompanion me when I'm on horse back, swimming is also a good thing if they like it. That is either a combination with the walks or an addition to them. When they are puppies they won't stop playing or walking on their own and when overly tired they will went into 'overdrive'. You'll have to recognise the signs and take your puppy out of play and teach them to relax. Otherwise you'll get a dog that will be constantly in 'overdrive' when adult. Socialisation is the key. Foxterrier are very alert and some tend to be borderline aggressive when not knowing something from an early age (other dogs/animals, kids, bikes, skaters, cars etc etc). That's imo way more important than waiting for their last vaccination, because they learn these things best between 8-16 weeks old. (Also there is a little bit protection from the first two shots) They tend to stay fit till old age. My first two showed a minimized drop of activities at 11 years old. But expected their walks till the very last day (at the age of 13 respectively 15 1/2 years)
