Signal Circuit of Halleston was a Wire Fox Terrier and winner of the 1926 Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show.[1] This was the 50th Westminster show, and the fourth Fox Terrier to win best in show.[1]

Signal Circuit was one of 200 Fox Terriers present at the show.[1] He was handled by Percy Roberts, who had imported the dog from England[1] and had "just stepped off the boat before the show".[2] The show was judged by Wintrhop Rutherford, the owner of Conejo Wycollar Boy, a Fox Terrier that took best in show from 1907 to 1909.[1]

Signal Circuit was described as having "phenomenal length of head and sound movement".[1]
