#4 After the war, the popularity of terriers began to decline, and by the beginning of the 30s it became almost impossible to find a reference “Irish” at exhibitions.
The breeding bases of European nurseries - the main suppliers of purebred producers - have also been reduced to a minimum. Concerned about the impending degradation of the breed, dog handlers and amateurs tried to return to her philistine interest. So, in 1933, the merchant Gordon Selfridge even organized an exhibition of Irish terriers in the pavilions of his own department store.
#5 As a true native of the “land of leprechauns and red-haired bullies”, the Irish Terrier is quick-tempered, energetic and inexhaustible for all sorts of inventions.
Fans of the breed claim that at least three canine personalities coexist in their representatives, each of which is the complete opposite of the rest. In particular, in terms of work, Irish Terriers are unparalleled hard workers, firsthand familiar with concepts such as responsibility and diligence. Guarding the house or searching for psychotropic substances, baiting a badger, or cutting circles around the cinema - the Irish Terrier takes on all of the above with primordial zeal and absolutely the same fuse.
#6 But once the job is done, the dog’s behavior changes dramatically.
An attentive worker and hunter immediately gives way to a mischievous clown and an actor, whose "numbers" sometimes cause laughter, and sometimes the desire to give the restless prankster a good shot. So, for example, Irish Terriers are not only unsurpassed runners, but also incredible jumpers, so quietly pulling a cookie or sausage off the table for the breed is not just a problem, but a primitive trick. All sorts of hecks and hooks for the "Irish" - funny puzzles that need to be dealt with as soon as possible. The end result of such a quest is usually the same: doors wide open and a pet hiding in an unknown direction.
