Irish Terriers are possible the oldest of the terrier breeds to have come from Ireland. Not much has been documented of their past, but they were used as a working farm dog and guard dog in Ireland for centuries. During World War I, the Irish Terrier was used as a messenger dog in the trenches and acquired a reputation for being fearless and intelligent.

Regular brushing and combing will keep the coat of the Irish Terrier in top notch condition. The more they are groomed, the more beautiful the coat will be. Hand strip the coat twice a year. This will maintain the texture and color of their coat. Bathe only when necessary. Check ears, teeth and nails regularly. Exercise should consist of games with human contact, long walks on a leash and free run in a fenced yard.
