Irish
Terriers are the definition of Fun and Happy!!
Child-Like in their curiosity and enthusiasm, they are
so full of
life and vigor, its impossible to not join in and have high
spirits in their company !! The disposition of an Irish Terriers
is ideal. Pleasant and attentive to every movement you make, it
will accompany you anywhere willingly.
Every
step out the front door is an adventure to an Irish .
Love to hike, walk, run, move in general.
The gait is an easy athletic stride, and his endurance is never
ending. Irish Terriers
are sporty
and enjoy the smells and sounds of outdoor, enjoy chasing a
rabbit, or a squirrel, and love to be out and about with you .
Travel is always looked forward to , no matter if its car, boat,
4 wheeler,
the Irish will enjoy riding in or on it! They seem to like
speed, and their ears fly back and they smell the air and enjoy
the whole experience.
Kid Friendly and social with
Everyone. The more the merrier! Outstanding temperament
and just loves company, thinks everyone comes to see him !
Cats
can be good friends, but should be introduced as the Irish is a
puppy. A chase scenario is to be avoided the first few weeks.
Once the cat is trusting they are friends.
Non Shed & Hypo
Allergenic are extreme plus also! Grooming varies
from every 6 -12 wks, depending on the look you prefer. Tailored
and Sharp show look, or Scruffy Natural look. Weekly brushing
and a monthly bath with gentle shampoo is all they need to stay
in good condition. Striping the coat can be done, and is
required in showing to keep the coat the correct texture and
retain color clarity. In pets, clippers are used to create the
same look with correct blade choices. My favorites are 5 for
body 10 for ears.
K -9 Social Skill &
Interaction is very much necessary after you take a puppy home.
Do NOT isolate the puppy from other dogs. It needs interaction
to remain in tune with K9 connection. Terriers who are
isolated and live only with people, forget how to be Dog
Friendly. Do your part, find Playmates that are good disposition
and all sizes; good nature is a must. This insures that your
terrier will always look forward to play and interacting with
other dogs, rather than being a bully or aggressive towards
other dogs. Most important time 2-12 months. Puppy
Kindergarten is recommended at 16 wks. This is the ideal age for
learning and doing things your way. Six months plus is the
teenager stage and sometimes a little more independent and head
strong. I recommend Ceasar Milan CD Dog Whisperer to get in tune
to the “Leader of the Pack” method of training , because
Terriers can be head strong and somewhat stubborn. The key to
success is being the Leader and starting young with the process.
Ceasar's theory and skills with body language is key to success.
Have fun in Training and your dog will enjoy and excel.
Male or Female debate is
the most asked question I get. In my experience one is not
better than another. Its like our kids, no two are quite alike,
each has individual traits and quirks that make him Unique. Sex
is not responsible for smarter, sweeter or easier to train.
Neutering & Spaying is best for any pet. So choose the puppy NOT
the sex.
Size is very Medium.
Most Irish Terriers weigh 33-49 lbs (males are larger).

Joy,
Just had some precious pics to
send you! Mallie is getting so big! She will be six

don't know what we would do without her! Thank you again
for such a sweet dog!

Hi Joy,
Well, just
a quick update, Oakley is doing really well and went to
the vet. He is now a whopping 8pd and 2oz
J
He is
training so well and enjoyed his puppy play group on the
weekend. My husband put a sock on the end of a
fishing pole and they play for hours in the yard, with
him casting it out and Oakley chases it and runs around.
He now sits, stays, does the down and rings the bells to
go out and do his business. He is really a smart
dog and knows it. I have attached a picture of him
waiting for a treat, his ear decided to flop up with was
so cute and then one of the signs the students have made
for outside my office door. He is a prize that is
for sure and still keeps me smiling, as well as everyone
else.
Take care
and I will update you again in a few weeks.

Hi Joy,
Thought
you would enjoy this! One of my colleagues took this
today in her office. He loves being at work
and of course is the apple of everyone’s eye. The
students come in for “puppy therapy” and he thinks he is
the bees knees, which of course he is. Today after
work we are going for our first training course.
So far he is so good with sitting and staying and coming
J
so I am sure he will enjoy the class and be top student!
He has his
vet appointment on Monday afternoon and after that I
will send you an email and let you know how well he is
doing.
Joy, I
have said it in all my emails, but Oakley is just the
best. He is cheeky and sweet and just the best dog
that could have happened to me.
Have a
great day!
Love from Tracey and Oakley

Hi Joy!
It was about a year ago, that I started talking
to you about a pup.
She is my shadow now and is starting to lead,
instead of follow/learn. She thinks she's
the fastest thing on 4 legs. She really
gets excited to see people, and she sees them
everyday. She greets them with enthusiasm.
She's a lover and not a fighter, but will fight.
She will stand her ground at times. Lucy
and Willie do wrassel everyday, and they get mad
at each other at times.
Just wanted to say "thank you Joy!"
Clay Donaldson
p.s. She has a nap time around 3-5 pm, and
doesn't like to be disturbed! :)

Hi Joy,
It’s
been a long time since I sent an update on Bailey (March
25, 2010). Bailey is doing great, quite the character,
so much fun and energy. Keeps my husband and
I on our toes! He still has a fascination with
paper, it can’t be left anywhere or he shreds it to
pieces like a shredder. Doesn’t eat it, just
shreds it! As I told you before, he just loves being
around people, just the excitement of seeing people,
exhausts him more than a walk or good run! Just wanted
to give you brief update. Notice his collar is an Irish
three leaf clover, we found on the internet!

Care

Hi Joy,
I'm so sorry
it's taken us so long to send you an update! It's been a
crazy week!! Bragg is doing awesome!! He loves to be the
center of attention!! He is a little ham! Lol!! He's is
doing amazing at crate training!!! We followed the
advice on your website and we haven't had any trouble!!
He sleeps so good in there!! House training is going ok,
he still has accidents but he's getting better every
day! We are just so happy to have him with us!! He fits
in with our family so so well!! I sent a picture below,
it's his new favorite toy. The toy puppy growls when u
pull on the rope and Bragg goes nuts!! He will play with
that for hours, if we let him!! And my daughter(who the
toy actually belongs to) doesn't mind sharing!!! We are
just so happy to have him in our lives! We can't thank
you enough!!!
Love,

She is still doing great. I'm
letting them spend more time in the yard with these
cooler temps.
Last Sunday morning I let them out at around 6am, I
checked on them about 30 minutes later, and Lucy was
carrying around a dead rat! I'm sure Willie killed it,
but she was carrying it around like a new toy.
Since it's been cooler, I've been
letting her chase me at work (she's faster then me now)
on a bicycle in the mornings. We have a field about the
size of a football field on the side of the office.
I Included a pic of her and my nephews, it's about 10
days old.

Hi Joy!
I just
wanted to take a moment and give you an update
on our beloved Missy. She just turned 4 on June
1, and you could never tell by how much energy
she has. She has become the most entertaining
thing in our home, and when she is away for a
day the house is dull and lifeless.
Today we
had her coat stripped and we wanted to send you
pictures of how pretty she is. My daughter,
Elizabeth, is holding her in the one picture.
We
couldn't imagine life without our little red
ball of mischief. Thank you so much for such a
wonderful dog.

Hi Joy,
My husband and I recently purchased an
Irish Terrier from you. We wanted to let you
know he is doing fantastic and we named him
Fitz! He loves chasing our cat and playing with
our 13 month old Brittany. Fitz is quite spunky
and stubborn; but he has a great
personality.......
We are happy to have Fitz be a member of
our family.
Thank you,
Tiffany & Guy Aman
P.S. I've attached a photo of Fitz and
Barley together. Where you find one, you find
the other.... The other picture is of Fitz at
his first vet visit. It looks like he's winking
at the camera.

Hi Joy-
I finally got my computer to upload the
attachments. Oh my gosh, he is the most
awesome puppy!!! He and Jazz have learned to
play tug with the knotted rope. The have been
going non-stop all day today. He is really
settling in well. He follows Jazz everywhere -
and she doesn't seem to mind. They are both
crashed out right now. And he is eating very
well! He slept through the night with not a
peep out of him and then went pee and poop
immediately outside! I don't think I've ever
had a puppy do that on day one. He's a smart
little thing!
Again, thank you for this most wonderful pup.
We are all totally in love with him!!! (well, except
for the cat! LOL). They'll adjust in
time, I'm sure.
Deb

Joy;
Bailey will be 3 in July of this year. We just
wanted to say thank you again. He is such a
important part of our family. He has protected
us, watched over us, and played with us so
well. His personality is so wonderful. He has
that Irish fire, but he always shapes up well.
Recently my husband had a minor surgery that
laid him up, every time he left the couch Bailey
chased him back and laid with him. We are
thinking of adding another canine family member
this summer and we will definitely come to you!

Dear Joy,
Here is Bailey this morning at home
in Chesapeake Va. (Bailey's Birth October 2007 - we got
her from you in December of 2007).You may remember us.
We are a NAVY family and my husband is from Missouri and
went to Mizzou. We got Bailey from you on our cross
country drive from California to RI. We have lived in Va
for over a year and a half now and will atleast be here
this year and next.
Bailey has an older brother here,
Willie, a 10 year old beagle mix. And we had a daughter
18 months ago too.....
She is so active and healthy and
beautiful and her hair is a mess in this picture but we
love her Joy. With all of our hearts.
I hope the picture opens up for you
and you get to see her taking a....ahem a.m. nap....on a
couch she is not supposed to be on. :)
Hoping you are enjoying a nice
Missouri spring, Becky O'Loughlin

Good morning Joy,
Well everything with our new puppies is going great. He already
sits on command and slept through both nights without a sound. I
have never owned such a well behaved dog! Giang and I are both
very happy and would like to say thank you.

MCCAIN is going to obedience classes. This is such a FUN way
to interact and bond with your dog, and its benefits are
lifelong. 16 weeks is an ideal time; terriers are like sponges
wanting to soak up learning at this age. This is a good way to
develop social skills with other puppies as well. Please plan
to Attend a Class! |

Hi Joy,
Happy Holidays! I’ve been wanting to
update you on Bailey.
.......He loves people, just loves them, I mean
really loves them. And other dogs, he likes them
too, and if they bark at him, he just hits them over the
head with his paw. It is pretty funny, he’ll be
sitting there nice as pie, and a dog will bark at him
(lots of dogs on my block), or try to play with him, he
just stares at him, when he decides he has had enough,
he just swats them with his paw, then they start
playing. He loves all the neighbor kids, but
just like other dogs, when he has had enough, he has had
enough. He swats them too, and they think he is
playing too!
We thought he would pull down our Christmas
tree, he couldn’t be bothered. We have a big
Christmas party every year, we thought he would try to
steal food, he could have cared less.
My mother visited from Florida for the holidays, she
said “he just such a happy little guy, knows how to
entertain himself”. He just made her laugh.
At the Christmas party, when he had enough of the
people, he just goes in his box. He
loves paper, we have to make sure no paper is left
sitting around, he shreds it to pieces. So much
for my Christmas cards hanging up. He had a
blast opening the paper on his Christmas presents.

We have
arrived home with our new pup- we have named him O'Mally
Megonigle!! He is adorable- so much cuter than the pictures!! He
slept in his crate
the WHOLE way home practically. He has gone to the bathroom 4
times outside
and 0 times inside... so far. We took him to PetCo and he was
the envy of
all- everybody wanted to pet him!! Also - the crate training is
going very
well-he really likes going in his crate- we'll see how the
overnight goes!!!
Thanks again for bringing him to us- we are having so much fun!
I have
sent a picture of him with his Irish flag lights in the
background- he "passes
out" on the floor so fast- we then carry him up to his crate!!
Proud parents- Amber and Cory |
