Never seen one work. I have a friend that almost all his dogs are irish crosses from show stock. He's been hunting for many more a decade than I have so there might be something to them.

Every pet one I've come across seemed like it wished it was working, they're fiery brave little dogs with a lot of attitude, but yeah never heard of a serious worker.

If there was working irish terriers then we would be discussing them along with wheatens and staffs on other threads, but there's not so this is just another pointless thread that's going nowhere

Went to a hound show a couple of years ago and saw a pack of Irish Terriers that are used for wild boar. Ill dig out the photos.

There was an article in the Countryman's weekly april 20 2011 from Tim Allen about my dog Mister Mac :

 

TIM ALLEN tells of his joy at finding working dogs at Crufts

 

Mister Mac as he is known, was bred in Holland but now lives in the UK. He has a

blend of Dutch, Irish and Czech bloodlines in his pedigree. Most importantly for me

he has worked on various quarry and with some success.

A tad talle rthan i like to see, he is nevertheless a fine racy terrier with plenty of

substance and good muscle tone. Now a veteran he won his class at Crufts 2011

and may also have won my vote. I'll let you know what happens.

 

Tim Allen and me decided after long talks that we have to start building a working line of Irish Terriers.

So we mated Mister Mac with his working bitch Killygoan Red Lady and in june 2011 we had a litter

of 5 puppies, 3 dogs and 2 bitches.

 

The aim for me was with the first pick of the litter to look for a very strong and sturdy dog,

so i picked Killygoan First Class van Leeuwen better known as Mister Percy,

Tim kept the best bitch out of the litter so we made a good start for the working line.

 

At 6 months old Mister Percy already weighing 16,2 kg. he looks very promising and has already a big hunting

drive and works shoulder to shoulder with Mister Mac on the fields in Kent.

 

Coming june he will be available as a studdog so please contact me if you want to know more
