Can you put any pictures up? Would be good to see them looking like a proper dog.

I cant understand why anyone would settle for a kerry bXgreyhound when you could have a wheatenXgreyhound.A far superior blooded dog.Kerry blues were shite dogs 40, 60, years ago,theyre even more shite now.I watched this prick living not far from me walk about with a blue on a long lead and leting it scream and snarl at smaller dogs,cats etc.He went about the neighbourhood like man mountain with his chest pumped out,fookin tool.He let the beast kill a few cats and maul a few dogs over a period of time.Well a mate of mine waited his chance and followed him onto a local hospital ground where he let the kerry b run loose,my mate slipped his wheaten and the kerry got what was coming to him.The owner I'm told screamed like a bitch his dog tried to mate with him.Kerrys are not fit for anything but ratting.I have been diging for near 30 years and I have never ever come across a blue being utilised,and thats because theyre not up to the job.I saw a few kerryXwheatens over the years but even they didnt make the grade.I wellcome anyone that trys to revive a declining working breed of dog,but the kerrys arent worth the effort.Let them fade into the mists of history.THIS BOTTLE OF ERNEST&JULIO GALLO HAS SURE HIT THE SPOT,RANT OVER.

kerry blues are good terriers.....a good friend of mine has one he uses him for above ground......cant fault them in anyway....they have a good jaw on them aswell

[jigsaw 11,875]

as i said glorified ratting terriers,exactly what does he do above ground with him?Any kerry blue that gets a bit of roughing about looses its bottle pretty damn quick.How come their an IRISH breed and Ive never spoken to anyone that has actually seen one work on larger quarry than rabbit.I heard of a few that did a few foxes in stop ends but had not the conviction to run in blind and show no fear.Im not starting an argument here just an opinion I have developed over many years of terrier keeping.I would class the kerry the same as the IRISH TERRIER, good for very litte more than companion/pet/guard dog.But they do make excellent home guarders.
