About the Irish Terrier
Originally named the "Irish Sporting Terrier" these
"daredevils" of the dog world make wonderful family pets. In their native
homeland of Ireland, these small, yet mighty, dogs were once used as
ratters and guard dogs, as well as to flush and retrieve game. These
active and alert terriers love children and will amuse your kids for hours
on end with their lively antics. The hard, wiry top coat requires weekly
grooming and hand-stripping to maintain it's correct texture, but is less
difficult to care for than other terrier breeds. Irish Terriers like to be
walked at least twice day daily, are easy to train and make good
watchdogs. This breed is well suited to both country or city
living.
