At least one line of coursing dog, is said to have Irish Terrier in its make up.

Where you'd go to find an I.T. that'd be worth breeding from i doubt many would know...

It’s a pity there’s such a lack of them working coz I’d say the the first cross to a grey would make a great alround lamping and ferreting dog if from a good working Irish

There's was over here in the early 1980s a lot of them and there were some good we dogs that way Bred there was two men that only bred them type that I know of one of them has passed away and the other man out of the game now it is a shame because they did make a good dog in there own right

Yeah I can imagine they were good type. Over here now it’s mainly wheaton crosses you’d see now out of the all the terriers

It's a funny one because any Irish terrier iv seen wasn't much cop for drawing or earth work but then iv seen a few Irish terrier x lurchers and they was handy dogs for rabbit and fox. Frient of mine had a dog and if you walked up to an earth and he was off the lead you was digging to him great little dog.. I keep a couple of Wheatons and there hard enough to find proper ones that are worked every week I wouldn't even attempt to try source a proper working Irish terrier I'd say you would more luck finding a pure bred bedlington doing ground work then one of them..
