Irish Terriers

[wexford Pa 84]

one a million i think to get a decnt one

i wouldnt think so, id say 1 in 100 maybe im not sure but all if not most would be gamey but to last the pace and be considered good id say about 1 in a 100, id like to hear some views from lads that have 1 or 2 knocking out a bit of work out tho..

 

i wouldnt hold your breath. and i wouldnt compare a show kc breed with a working wheaten either.

i wasnt comparing kc bred to working wheaten, i was just comparing the style of this Irish terrier workin that day to the job a working wheaten would do.. im not comparing the dogs or putting them on an even scale..

on a finding a working Irish terrier, yes i take your point i wouldnt hold my breath

 

the dog you saw must have been a good example then would be nice to see some working irish terriers. i put a post up a while ago looking for one. but never got much feedback. an old friend of mine would like one as his last terrier

he was indeed, i remember askin the make up of him & was there some other breed in his genes but he swore that he was a full irish terrier (certainly looked just as an Irish terrier would) and told me who he'd got him from.. i later met a man who hunts with the lad he got him from and told me he swapped 2 of his lakelands for 2 Irish terrier dogs, who he wanted to later outcross to his line of Lakelands..

pa seen ollie mac one take a fox up were he walks the dogs up the river near the earths are it was all over in a minite worked it well

he's as fine a terrier as ur ever gonna see, didnt know he worked it at all.. is that dog dead now? if not he's gettin on in years..
