Kerry Blue Terrier fun facts

Fun Facts:

The Kerry Blue Terrier is the national dog of Ireland.

The long beard and bangs of the Kerry Blue Terrier serve a purpose: when bolting foxes, rats, and other animals out of their hiding places, the hair protects their face and eyes from the sharp claws of their prey.

In the 18th and 19th centuries, Kerry Blue Terriers were used as hunters, herders, ratters, and family companions alike.
