Breed Overview
These Irish Terriers originated in Indigenous times and are used as farm dogs, vermin hunters, and for companionship. They may be small, but are full of spirit, courage, and are always excited to hunt. They are very active, but less easily excitable compared to other Terriers. They are good natured, family dogs, and are great with children. They may have difficulties getting along with other dogs, but will do well if properly socialized. These terriers are able to learn quickly, but like most terriers, may not always respond to their owners commands. They are content and enjoy snuggling when they have had their daily dose of exercise, whether it is a hunting game or a lengthy walk. They are excellent for singles, seniors, house dwellers, and those who enjoy the outdoors. They do not bark very much and cannot swim very well. Grooming is minimal, simply requiring a coat stripping several times per year.
