Short haired Irish terrier

In outline the conformation he is different from any other dog in the terrier group. He has a longer body than the fox terrier and more decided racing lines.

He is a born gentleman, a loyal protector of those he loves, a true sportsman. He will catch and kill woodchucks and as for rats, just give him a chance. In World War II Irish terriers more than did their bit working as sentries and messenger dogs, carrying dispatches from post to post with an utter disregard of danger. The dog has proved to be very loyal and devoted to the people that are around or those who take care. They are real good with the children as they behave very gently with them it looks like as if they are taking care of them.

He has straight legs, rich in color and has dark eyes. They are also very obedient and always do as they are directed to do; they also have the exceptional ability of getting trained easily.
