Kerry Blue Terrier

Originating in the 19th century, it first came to attention in the mountains of the Kelly Blue, hence the name. The Kelly Blue Terrier has been bred purely in its ancestral home for hundreds of years.

The Kelly Blue Terrier, with its many talents and its instinct for tracking and retrieving prey, is suitable for all forms of work and is easy to train and has an indomitable spirit that can hardly be surpassed by a watchdog. In the history of England, the Kelly Blue Terrier has competently served as a police dog. With good breeding management, specialized food and designated training, the Kelly Blue Terrier has a long life span and remains faithful as it approaches old age. In fact, the Kelly Blue Terrier is still considered a young dog between the ages of 6 and 8 years old. The Kelly Blue Terrier is well-developed and muscular. The feet have strong bones and muscles, and the legs are correspondingly long. The ears are small and V-shaped, folding down in front against both cheeks. Small to medium eyes, dark body: short and thick, with a bouncy chest and horizontal back. Very thick and soft silky coat, blue-gray in color, sometimes some black hairs can be seen. The Kelley Blue Terrier is born with a black coat, which usually turns to a characteristic blue-gray color within 18 months.

Double coat, the outer coat is coarse and stiff in the form of metal wire, while the inner coat is dense and of good texture. The coat color is black, black and white and gray, as well as black and silver.

The typical Kelley Blue Terrier has a well-trained stance with a firm stance and good balance. It is muscular and has typical terrier characteristics, a short and jumpy Kelly Blue Terrier does not have the typical characteristics.

Moves freely, elbows perpendicular to the body, and has a quick gait. The front and rear legs move forward in a straight line when walking. The knee joints are not turned inward or outward. Like a child that never grows up, the Kelley Blue Terrier is often pampered and temperamental and wants to be loved by its owner alone, so it is not suitable for group breeding and is better suited for a quiet environment. The Kelly Blue Terrier has a tough exterior, but a gentle heart that is inversely proportional to its appearance. If properly trained from a young age, he will be the best playmate and guardian for children.

The Kelly Blue Terrier loves to dig, and the slightest sound and any strange smell underground will arouse his strong curiosity and digging, so he must be vigilant if there is a dirt floor in the house. He is very wary of strangers and other animals, and will occasionally attack animals that enter his territory "illegally". He is jealous of other dogs that enter his territory, so this dog is better kept alone. He will occasionally get "moody" when you force him to do something he doesn't want to do, or when you do something that makes him feel less devoted to you. The Kelley Blue Terrier is a smart and mischievous breed, and when practicing, you don't need to think too much about whether he understands what he is trying to do, he will sometimes act like a child and reward them with a favorite toy when he gets it right.

Gentle, faithful, energetic and stubborn, this dog must be trained to be a good family dog. This dog is very clean and curly without shedding or moulting. The Kelley Blue Terrier for show must be carefully trimmed and decorated.
