personally i cant fault my kerry blue x grey , he is spot on , fab temp , excellent all rounder and the best dog ive had to help me bring on the younger dogs , he is 27tts and my 4 yr old son does the kids handling with him

[Guest little lurcher]

he is 3/4 grey 1/4 K B , he does have a kinda fluffy texture to his coat at times and i use a horse sweat scraper with teeth to remove the downy coat , huge thick neck , i will try to put some other pics up to show how powerful he is

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?

saw a kerry and wheaton on the ground once in ireland the kerry made a good acount of him self.nither were bred from rubbish.

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

Dont want to sound rude but you sound like you are discibing a pet not a working dog.Terriers are usually used in lurcher make up to add gameness and a tall pain barrier.The terrier in question is the kerry blue which your dog has in its make up SO is it game and can it take the pain? 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

Seen a few kerrys and they are all noise and bluff, you may get the odd one thats half decent but nothing like a wheaten. theres no working strain of kerrys like there are of wheaten.Got a book on kerrys from the 20,s they look nothing like the dogs of today.
