KOUTAVI

Gold Coast, Queensland Originating in Ireland, one of the oldest breeds of terriers. Nicknamed the “daredevil,” it has earned the reputation of being adaptable, loyal, spirited, and recklessly courageous. It served as a messenger and sentinel dog in World War I, and it has been used to hunt and to retrieve game. The Irish terrier is a sturdily built dog with racier lines than those of other terriers. Its long, relatively narrow head is usually accented by a short beard. It stands about 18 inches (46 cm), weighs 12 to 17 kg, and is distinguished by its wiry golden-red to reddish brown coat. They are an energetic, fun loving dog that loves people's company, especially children. They love to exercise and play but also can be quite content just lying in the sun. They are a healthy breed with a weatherproof coat and can live indoors or out. They have a gentle nature but are true Terriers when the situation warrants it.
