KERRY BLUE TERRIER — This dog is a native of County Kerry, 
Ireland, and has been pure-bred for over one hundred years. The Ker¬ 
ry Blue was first exhibited at an important dog show in this country 
in 1922, and had a quick rise to popularity. He is very intelligent, is a 
willing worker, and is game and faithful. He was used as an all-around 
working dog, herding sheep and cattle and hunting small game. He is 
the most alert of all terriers and is active, hardy and wiry. The Kerry 
Blue has a coat of soft, wavy hair which is any shade of blue from light 
to dark, but of a uniform color throughout except for lighter or darker 
parts on ears, muzzle, tail, and feet. The weight is from 33 to 38 pounds 
and he should stand about 18 inches at the withers.
