  1. I was very much into staffords and Pit bulls before....but These Irish Breeds and The Kerry BLue was a surprise for me....how can a puff ball...perform the way they do...HAHA I have a likeing for them. THESE IRISH PUFF BALLS
  2. But I have To say it Clear....The Sporting Irish are into American Pit Bulls now....They have sorted out the Chaff....and ther native breeds fell.
  3. Dogs depend on the people that breed them and make them ready. Of the Irish breeds of terrier I prefer The Torum Tunde kerry Blue Terrier line or a working wheaten, they must be like Kerry Blues from what I here say or better....I would not go for show line Soft Coated Wheatens....to off as a Terrier for me.

  5. Terriers - Their Training, Work & Management by Various Authors, Originally published in 1932 This Is Irish Dog History.............................LOOK AT WHO IS WRITTING!!!!!
  6. I had 3 show staffords before,, also an apbt x sbt, and I enjoy the Kerry Blue.
  7. I think the most qualified opinions here know what a working strong dog looks like or feel like going over them under the coat feeling whats there, and how they should behave. If they have a likening for any of the Irish Terrier breeds go and look at the parents and get a pup...none of them are suitable breeds for everybody, you have to like terriers, you personality has to go with them, I can tell you of a litter of Kerry, that 3 of the pups were bought as pets one put down, the other was given away to a boar hunter and the other ended up given away to an active old pensioner that loved the
  8. The Irish Kennel club was responsible for creating the Irish Badger tests of gameness, and they were Kerry Blue Terrier people, Many thought dog fighting was the maximum test of gameness, but that was ilegal by then.
  9. As you can see Black and tan pup and Wheaten colored pups in pure Kerry blue Terrier litter. The Black and Tan Terrier is said to be a common ancestor to the Irish Terrier who in the beginning came in wheaten and blue also Black and tan, until only red was permitted.

  11. Pierse stating Kerry the breeds utility in Ireland
  12. To settle the origin and History of the Kerry Blue, its a variant of the Irish Terrier and would be campaigned by Gerard Pierce as a Fighting dog and general purpose farm dog, he was a breeder and breed club treasurer of the Irish blue Terrier club, for 10 years, many of today's dogs can be traced back to his tested dogs. when England started showing Kerry Blues and trimming begun he rejected it stating they should be shown in the rough. So when In Ireland it was accepted to trim Kerrys in the English fashion he used his wheaten colored Kerrys, because they were not breeding true for color yet
  13. Nothing is gospel......its only one mans opinion, some opinions are worth more than others.
  14. info on Brian for those that do not know his work http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Plummer
  15. I like the look of the Latharna Working Wheatens,,,,,,I think The show Kerry is a superior dog to the show wheaten, better breeders maybe. All them Irish Terrier breeds are no match as fighters to the king of the ring APBT....I did laugh one morning trying to stop a fight apbt vs Kerry were the Kerry got a hold of the pits back leg and started shaking it out...but that's all it was funny,,,the kerry would not last long left to there own,..that's my bet anyway...you never know in sport, sometimes underdogs are lucky. Brian Plummer wrote the following, he new his dogs, He also wrote about Fell
  16. I have seen better and worse breeds.. I don't know but I start to think in southern Ireland you have nobody left breeding Kerrys, let alone good ones. Breeders probably doing a better job at breeding in northern Ireland and England and abroad.
  17. I had a male Kerry, my wife took him out for his needs early 6:30 in the morning the dog had bone cancer he limped a front leg as he walked. There was a man that had an aggressive mongrel of his lead, came directly at the Kerry she said. The dog screams from the street woke me up, I looked out of the window to see my wife choking the Kerry the man beating the Kerry, my wife telling the man to f**k off, and the mongrel screaming and the Kerry would not let go, I put on my clothes went down lifted him of the ground hand under his collar...he let go exhausted..,, he was put down 2 days later,,,
  18. I would not say Kerry Blues are good for fighting I don't think they would go much more then 7 minutes. But I know of a bitch that has killed two of her Kerry Blue Kennel bitches. A good one would probably take a show shit Stafford as the Stafford would shit themselves real early, some of them Staffords cant even take a hold. Hunting a good Kerry would be open to any quarry he would be eager to anyway........would have to test and see as you do with any other working dog,,,you dont always get worker from worker x worker, but you usually do. I have had some very brave staffords also. from
  19. Her breeder breeds dogs under the kennel name ordesa,. nice Kerrys
  20. www.irishwheaten.com/?p=117 The Soft-Coated Wheaten Terrier By Gerald J. Pierse,,,, can be found here he was the father of this breed. Ch. Charlie Tim, owned by Dr. Pierse, became the first champion of the breed.
  21. Text From the book, Our freind The Terrier by Rowland Jhons 1935
  22. Just to Clarify about Kerry Blues and Soft Coated Wheaten Terriers. The Kerry Blue Terrier was recognized as a breed by the Kennel club in 1922. The secretary of one of the Kerry Blue clubs was DR, Gerard Pierse, he bred Kerry Blues for 10 years his Kennel name was Bushmount, He trialed his dogs for Gameness and had certificates of Gameness with them at the Badger Trials. When In 1935 The Kerry Blue was approved that they should be groomed in the English show grooming style, He disagreed to the point that he used his wheaten colored Kerry Blues to establish a new breed, groomed in the roug
