History of Breed
The dog now officially called the Irish Terrier is possibly the oldest of the Terrier Breeds of Ireland but records are so scarce that it would be difficult to prove this conclusively.
Buying guide
When sourcing a healthy Irish Terrier puppy it is the Breeder that is the most important consideration.
