James Doyle 59 Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Does anyone have or have had a working kerry blue? If so what type of work do you use him for? I had a non worker a few year ago he was a narky little c**t and would ate anyone he didnt know and stick in dogs he didnt know!! He had terrible skin problems and he went missing then and that was the end of him!!! Quote Link to post
CcooneyMadDog 0 Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 hi mate, i dont have a kerry blue but i was going to get one however, i couldnt find a breeder. the kerry blue are meant to be great workers for hunting badger, fox, rats and mice. but i have been told they can go for cats and many other animals. they are ready to take on any opponents - a necessary attribute when hunting and killing vermin but not so good for a family pet! Some terriers are yappy and are known to nip boisterous children. They can also be quite independent and difficult to train. Quote Link to post

Some terriers are yappy and are known to nip boisterous children. They can also be quite independent and difficult to train. They are no good on badger.They are no good on fox.They are mediocre on cats.Any dog will kill rats and MICE.They will only take on opponents if they are much smaller than them.And they will bite children.And if i had one that got lost I would throw a party and move house in case he found me Quote Link to post

bushranger 19 Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 I,ve been told that Kerrys from the show line Torums, have a bit of fire in them still, may be as much as show staffords or english bull terriers. They do have have a guard dog temperment Quote Link to post
