Irish Terrier

Terriers

The Irish Terrier is the classic terrier type - courageous underground hunters of the British Isles. Active and moderately trainable; they can be challenging around other dogs or animals and need careful introduction; though they are a very vocal breed that may not suit noise-sensitive environments. The Irish Terrier needs a solid hour of exercise every day to stay mentally and physically balanced, and their coat is low-maintenance and needs only an occasional brush. Active first-time owners who can commit to daily exercise will find Irish Terrier a loyal and deeply rewarding companion.
