Default Fence basics

I live in rural Utah. Extreme SW. We have all manner of critters around
here, mainly, but not limited to rabbits, some deer, skunks, gophers,
chipmunks, marmots, and a few others.

We are putting in the garden and I'm wondering about border wire. I have
heard of "hog" wire, "chicken" wire, "horse" wire, and all sorts of wire. I
"think" I want some that starts off with smaller squares toward the bottom,
then larger as it goes up so as to keep out the small critters at the
bottom, and the bigger ones higher up.

Is that what I need? What's the name. Garden wire? I'm sure they would
steer me right at the feed store or Ace, or HD, but I thought I'd ask some
seasoned gardeners here.

Thanks.

How about a fence of any size mesh with a dog or two who have access
to your house.
