Boru is a purebred Glen of imaal Terrier. These dogs are very rare and this is an opportunity for anyone interested in the breed to have a chance to own one. They are of Irish decent and are a very old breed that has basically been unchanged over the years. Boru is only 2.8 years old and was surrendered to Ugly Mutts only because his family were returning to Ireland and the 6 month quarantine required would have put a lot of undue stress on the dog. As well, it is a very expensive endeavor.
Boru’s family are returning to Ireland and unfortunately the cost of quarantining the dog for 6 months (which is required) and more importantly the fact the dog would have little human contact during those 6 months was the deciding factor to rehome him.
What his previous family had to say about Boru:
Boru is a 2 yrs and 8 months old, Glen of Imaal Terrier. He i a very loving and loyal dog, with a lot of energy.
We have had Boru since he was 10 weeks old and to give him us is the hardest thing we have had to do. We hope that whoever adopts him will love him and care for him as we have and that he will become a part of your family.
Boru likes to be walked once or twice a day, for about 45 minutes at a time. He is calm and friendly when meeting other dogs. Until Boru has settled into your pack it would be advisable to keep him on leash however once he is settled he will enjoy being off leash. (Boru is currently being fostered in a home with other dogs and a cat and is fine with all of them.)
Glens as a rule are quiet, but Boru will be vocal at times and his bark sounds more like a Wolfhound than a Terrier.
Boru is great with children of any age, and he seems to obey them better than he does adults!
Boru loves nothing more than to lie at your feet. After his walk he zonks out on the floor however after a bath he will have a mad half hour running around barking.
We take Boru to the groomers 2 – 3 times a year.
Boru has not been castrated as the breed is very rare, even rarer than the Giant Panda. We did have intention on breeding but that dream was cut short by our move to Ireland. We would have loved to take him with us but the cost of the quarantine is more than we can afford at this time.
