cúagusgiorraí 57 Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 (edited) Now lads, I am no expert on terriers, but from what I know, I thought the Kerry terrier was originally a colour variation of the Irish terrier, which was selectively bred. I dont think the irish terrier and kerry blue were meant as earth dogs but rather as all round farm dogs for controlling vermin, moving livestock and working to the gun. Some Irish terriers were meant to be excellent gundogs. About the fighting nature of these terriers, wasnt it their liking a scrap, the reason terriers were cross bred with bulldogs?

artful212 394 Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 when they were crossed with a bulldog i think they called them a blue paul spelling mite be wrong tho my neighbour has kerry/staff ive seen few first xs but never workn 1s a mate of mine had both a kerry and a wheatan both males and with he wos away on hols i was alertd to them fightn so i jumpd the fence and they were flat out at eachother the neighbours all hangn over the fence thrown buckets of water and hosn them as i broke them on my own the kerry didnt want 2 know but the wheatan wos goin mental so got locked in the shed . now the kerry wos bout 4 yr old and was pretty big for a kerry and had done a bit supposedly but the wheatan wos 18 mths and from [bANNED TEXT] i seen the kerry didnt stand a chance my mate got rid him as that moment switched him on... ive kept wheatan lurchers since Quote Link to post

I suspect you havnt tested it in that respect and thats fine but that is what is being discussed here and what the origional questioner wants to know-- I think Quote Link to post
