" Talking about the Kerry Blue Terrier, more than talking about a breed of dog is for me to talk about a love, love those who are born with a lightning strike and you involving nicely every day. The "first time" was a photo and brief description in a small book on the Terrier which still jealously guards, it was then that, in the twinkling of an eye, I decided that this would be my dog. Forgive me then if I speak "to love", however I will try to briefly describe the main characteristics and without sentimentality of this race still remains unknown to most people.
" May the wind be always at your back and a Kerry Blue at the end of your journey." .. goes the old Irish greeting, and already it is clear that the Irish are proud of this dog-loving dog, so that even to elect a national symbol.

Because of his fiery temper often turns out to be a bit quarrelsome with other dogs of the same sex and it is difficult to live with it other animals in the house (cats, birds, rodents) since it still has a strong instinct for hunting down harmful. In its history, Kerry was unfortunately used as a fighting dog: it's still a terrier, and has character, courage, agility, temperament. Though it is now a pet dog, breeders have rightly preserved the character features of the breed, and these qualities make that this dog will normally not relish the sight of other dogs to see Kerry in a position "to meet" is a of the most beautiful images that cinofilia can offer, is in fact coming out of those occasions the physicality of this dog, his powerful and proud expression, appearance regal leader.
