Irish terriers were bred with a number of purposes in mind, instead of just one. These included rat hunting on land and in water, hunt hedgerows and catch rabbits in open, guard home against intruders etc. Hope this helps.
I know what they were bred for as I have been brought up with Irish since my father had them before me.I just wanted to know if anyone else had experience of them,mine hunt hedges and catch the occasional rabbit its just that were I live we have lots of rats and I prefer hunting rats with them.Thanks for the reply though cheers
