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.
