Love that Irish Terrier!! Check out all of the dog breed T-shirts and Gifts. The Irish Terrier originated in Ireland, but how the breed was created remains for speculation. It might have come from the wire-haired Black and Tan terrier which was known in Britain since the 17th century. Some point out its resemblance to the Irish Wolfhound. It was first introduced to the public at a show in Dublin, in 1875. Soon after, a breed standard was drafted which has changed very little to this day. The Irish Terrier is full of life. They are good with people, love children and tolerate rough-housing to a certain extent. Most can have strong guarding instincts and when these instincts are controlled, make excellent alarming watchdogs. Irish Terriers are intelligent and learn new things easily. It is an active dog, and loves to be challenged mentally and physically. Many Irish Terriers excel in agility. The breed's origin is not known. It is believed to have descended from the black and tan terrier-type dogs of the British Isles, just like the Kerry Blue and Irish Soft-haired Wheaten Terriers in Ireland or the Welsh, Lakeland and Scottish Terriers in Great Britain.F. M. Jowett writes in The Irish Terrier, 'Our Dogs' Publishing Co. Ltd., Manchester, England 1947 - 7th Edition: They are described by an old Irish writer as being the poor man's sentinel, the farmer's friend, and the gentleman's favorite...These dogs were originally bred not so much for their looks as for their working qualities and gameness, the Irish Terrier being by instinct a thorough vermin killer. They were formerly of all types and of all colors - black-and-tan, grey-and-brindle, wheaten of all shades, and red being the predominant colors. Color or size evidently did not matter if they were hardy and game."Great T-Shirts & Gift just waiting for you.
