Glen of Imaal Terrier Dog Breed Description, History, and Temperament
- 20/11/2010
Description: The Glen of Imall Terrier is a small-medium sized dog that is a sturdy little thing, they have many of the usual terrier characteristics and have a lively and happy expression about themselves. They weigh around 35 pounds and should stand around 14 inches tall at the withers.
They have a double coat that should be wheaten in colour or brindle, their undercoat should be soft whereas their outer coat should be harsh to the touch. They have a relatively large head, with ears that are wide set and half pricked. They have round dark eyes that have a loving expression.
History: The origins of the Glen of Imaal Terrier dog are not known, however what is known is that they are from Ireland, and that they received their name from the Glen of Imall in County Wicklow. They are thought to be an ancient breed, but due to their isolation they are an almost unknown breed outside of the area they come from. They are fantastic hunters of fox, badgers and rat.
They were not recognized by the AKC until 2004 and to this day still remain a rare breed though attempts are being made to amend this. Even in Ireland they were not first publicly presented until 1933. In recent years they have become more companion pets, rather than working dogs.
Temperament: The Glen of Imall Terrier is a lively dog that is full of sprit and they can be very devoted. They can however suffer from 'small dog syndrome' so they need an owner who can stop any negative behaviour in a calm manner as they do not respond well to harsh discipline.
