The Irish Terrier emerged as a breed in the 1870s, although its roots go
back much further. The need had always existed for a hardy working dog who
was of the right size and temperament to double up as a close friend and
companion to 'his' humans. The 'Mick' has been called the poor man's sentinal,
the farmer's friend and the gentleman's favourite. In this book, Lucy Jackson
describes the breed lovingly and humorously, telling us of its origins and
of the notable clogs and breeders from the late 18th century to the present
day. She shares her insights into the unique character of the breed, and
advises us how to choose an Irish Terrier if we decide it is the breed for
us. She also advises on such matters as care, health, training and breeding.
At the end of the book is a list of Irish Terrier Champions since 1875.
