Irish Terrier

Categories: Animals | Pets | Dogs
  • The Irish terrier is a medium-sized dog that was originally bred to protect from rodents in Ireland. They may be red, golden or wheat colored. Irish setters can be trained for hunting, both on land and in water, or kept as a family pet.
  • Health Problems

    Irish setters are overall very healthy dogs. They do however require a moderate amount of exercise, such as a daily brisk walk. Their coat also requires weekly brushing to reduce shedding.
  • Sports or Activities

    Besides their use in hunting, Irish setters are commonly shown competitively as well as used for search and rescue operations. They can be kept as family pets, but are generally territorial and do not live well with other dominant dogs. Irish setters can be headstrong, but are moderately trainable.
