Modern Kerry Blue Terrier (A Vintage Dog Books Breed Classic)

Ireland's national terrier, the soft-coated blue-grey Kerry was an all-purpose farm dog of the south-west before it took to the show ring. In The Modern Kerry Blue Terrier, Violet E. Handy sets down what every owner and breeder should know of the breed.

First published in 1933, Violet E. Handy's account sets the Kerry Blue Terrier's history and origins alongside guidance on its points and standard, its character, and the everyday work of rearing, feeding and preparing a dog for the show ring.

Long scarce in its original edition, it returns here in a faithful modern reprint for Kerry Blue Terrier owners, breeders and breed historians.

This edition features:

• Traces the origins and history of the Kerry Blue Terrier.
• Sets out the breed's points, character and show standard.
• Practical notes on rearing, feeding, breeding and management.
• Restored from the original text and illustrations.
