Dogs and All about Them

In
addition
to
the
early
celebrities
already
named,
Extreme
Carelessness,
Michael,
Brickbat,
Poppy
II.,
Moya
Doolan,
Straight
Tip,
and
Gaelic
have
taken
their
places
in
the
records
of
the
breed,
while
yet
more
recent
Irish
Terriers
who
have
achieved
fame
have
been
Mrs.
Butcher's
Bawn
Boy
and
Bawn
Beauty,
Mr.
Wallace's
Treasurer,
Mr.
S.
Wilson's
Bolton
Woods
Mixer,
Dr.
Smyth's
Sarah
Kidd,
and
Mr.
C.
J.
Barnett's
Breda
Muddler.
Naturally
in
the
case
of
a
breed
which
has
departed
from
its
original
type,
discussions
were
frequent
before
a
standard
of
perfection
for
the
Irish
Terrier
was
fixed.
His
size
and
weight,
the
length
or
shortness
of
his
limbs,
the
carriage
of
his
tail,
the
form
of
his
skull
and
muzzle,
the
colour
and
texture
of
his
coat
were
the
subjects
of
controversy.
It
was
considered
at
one
juncture
that
he
was
being
bred
too
big,
and
at
another
that
he
was
being
brought
too
much
to
resemble
a
red
wire-hair
Fox-terrier.
When
once
the
black
marking
on
his
body
had
been
eliminated
no
one
seems
to
have
desired
that
it
should
be
restored.
Red
was
acknowledged
to
be
the
one
and
only
colour
for
an
Irish
Terrier.
But
some
held
that
the
correct
red
should
be
deep
auburn,
and
others
that
wheaten
colour
was
the
tone
to
be
aimed
at.
A
medium
shade
between
the
two
extremes
is
now
generally
preferred.
As
to
size,
it
should
be
about
midway
between
that
of
the
Airedale
and
the
Fox-terrier,
represented
by
a
weight
of
from
22
to
27
lb.
