During the years I have read a lot of articles about dogs, terriers and especially irish terriers. Most of them I forgot shortly after the reading but some of them had the influence on my view on Irish Terriers and dogs as such. Let me introduce some of them:
Chapter about Irish Terrier from the book "The dogs and all about them" written by Mr.Robert Leighton in 1907. I especially like: (1) the description of the standard - and fact that essential points didn't change for more than 100 years ; (2) to read about famous historical champions from author who saw them in reality.
Excerpt from the book "The complete Irish Terrier" written by Dr.E.S. Montgomery about the Irish Terrier coat - it helped me to understand a bit this issue.
Article of Frank Jones, originally published in "Der Terrier" in 1997. Little bit confusing, but such long-year experience in handling and judging Irish Terriers in written form you can hardly find...
