Irish Terrier

Irish Terriers are red-coated daredevils who think they’re twice their actual size and will argue with you about who’s in charge, but respect a person who stands their ground. They’ve got the wiry build and bearded face to match their scrappy personality, and they adapt to whatever life you throw at them as long as you let them have a say in the decision. Living with one means accepting that your Irish Terrier is making the rules, you’re just enforcing them.
