IRISH TERRIER
History - The Irish terrier is one of the oldest terrier breeds. It was developed in the 18th century for hunting rats, small and big game, and as a land and water retriever. During World War I this fearless terrier was used as a patrol and messenger dog.
Temperament - Irish terriers are loyal, lively, and affectionate. They are good family dogs and like to play with children but may behave aggressively if their property, toys, food bowls are touched. Some lines can be highly protective and may snap at anyone they perceive as a threat to their family. They can do well in obedience class but may be aggressive toward other dogs and may mistake cats as prey. Secure the year with fence and always walk Irish terriers on a leash. When properly trained, the Irish terrier is a good companion in the city, suburbs, or country.
Upkeep - The Irish terrier should be brushed and combed twice a week and trimmed every three months. To avoid behavioral problems, such as nonstop barking or digging, this energetic dog needs long walks, hikes, and vigorous play in a secured area.
Size - height 17-18 inches, weight 25-27 pounds.
