Blog #9 – Ireland’s forgotten Terrier

5 thoughts on “Blog #9 – Ireland’s forgotten Terrier”

  1. A very interesting read, thanks. Ive never heard of the Carrick Terrier. Such a pity there isn’t more detailed information on Irish terrier breeds and their origins. A lot of historical knowledge on the subject, seems to have been lost in time.

  2. There are photos of many, Kerries that look similar, in the Ch Kerry Blue Terriers book from 1922 the Breed with straighter coats.

  3. I have Soft Coaten Irish Weaten Terriers and enjoy learning their history. What people need to remember is that until recently dogs in general were breed for purpose not looks. Pretty sure plenty of weatens didn’t have the soft silky coat my boys now do.
