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.
