Kerry Blue Terrier puppies for sale in Manitoba

Breed history

The Kerry Blue Terrier originated in County Kerry, Ireland, in the 19th century, though its ancestry may trace back further through native Irish terriers. Bred as an all-purpose farm dog, it hunted vermin, guarded livestock, and served as a loyal companion. Its development emphasized intelligence, agility, and a non-shedding, hypoallergenic coat suited to Ireland’s harsh weather. By the early 20th century, the breed gained recognition in dog shows, and today it remains a striking, energetic, and versatile companion prized both as a family pet and working dog.
