Lusitano 294 Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 Has anyone worked an irish terrier or seen 1 work? Ive heard that they are still regularly used in some Eastern European countries with success Quote Link to post
Corkman 944 Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 Buddy had an IKC one when we were kids. Useless and not like dogs of old. They are not used in their home country. That says enough! 4 Quote Link to post

neil cooney 10,415 Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 a friend of mine had one 2 or 3 years back..got it for free as it was too big for shows ..good hunter above ground but extremely bad for fighting with other dogs Sounds like a typical example of the breed. When you say "other dogs" I presume you mean labradors, collies etc. because they usually stop that annoying habit when they meet one who doesn't take shit. Just like most bullies or curs. 1 Quote Link to post
