IRISH TERRIER

Color: Whole colored bright red, red, wheaten or yellow-red. A little

white is permissible on chest and feet, but is not desirable.

Height: 18 in.

Weight: 24 lbs.

The outstanding feature of this dog is a style of physiognomy and

expression peculiarly his own. The head is a little longer than the fox

terrier’s, his eyes hazel rather than very dark, and so set as to give

him the sort of dare-devil expression for which he is so famous. The

ears are small and V-shaped and drop forward close to the cheek. The

back should be strong, with loins broad and powerful. The stern is

generally docked, should be well covered with rough hair but free from

feathering. The coat is hard, wiry, straight and flat.
