Glen of Imaal Terrier

Good to know

• Hard-working Irish terriers: used for vermin and badger work, and as turnspit dogs that ran a wheel to turn meat roasting over a fire.
• Calmer terriers: gentler and less excitable than many terriers, though still bold and spirited when roused.
• Deep bark: generally fairly quiet, but when they do bark their deep voice makes them sound like a much bigger dog.
• Coat care: the wiry double coat should be hand-stripped of dead hair a few times a year, or kept tidy by a groomer.

Getting out with a Glen of Imaal Terrier
