Watson here, Happy St. Patrickâs Day to you and happy birthday to me! Yes, I am your very own leprechaun, and I bet you did not even know I am Irish. Well, Ireland is full of surprises, and dogs are one of them. St. Patrick may have driven the snakes out of Ireland, but, for sure, he let the dogs in.
Ireland has many dogs, but the Irish Kennel Club only recognizes 10 breeds as purebred Irish dogs. I will introduce you to some of them.
There are four terrier breeds from Ireland, and the only way to tell them apart is the color of their coats. Irish Terriers are completely red, Glen of Imaal Terriers are sandy colored, Kerry Blue Terriers, are gray; and Wheatens, nicknamed âWheaties,â are golden.
