Kerry Blue Terrier Puppy And Dog Information
The Kerry Blue Terrier is a loving pet, intelligent and protective of the family. She can live in an apartment, provided they are often given long walks. She is a great watchdog and guard dog but will not drive the neighbors with their barking crazy as it is a quiet dog. She is good with older, considerate children. As a reminder, never leave a child unsupervised with any puppy or dog. It does well with other pets and other dogs. She usually will not retreat from a fight as she is brave.
* Approximate adult size. The approximate adult size (two years or more) of the Kerry Blue Terrier is 18 to 19 inches at the withers (the highest point of the shoulder) and 33 to 40 pounds.
* Special Health Considerations. Most dog breeds have certain inherited health problems associated with that specific breed and the Kerry Blue Terrier is no exception. Although considered a healthy breed, long life, be on the look out for canine hip dysplasia (genetic based looseness in the hip joint can lead to arthritis pain and lameness), cataracts, blood, tumors of the hair follicle and Entropion (eyelid inherited disorder, usually a minor, rolls inward and irritates the cornea and can cause vision problems. Surgery can correct this condition, but may disqualify the dog from shows). This list of the disease is an informative guideline only. Other diseases may also be significant threats, please contact your veterinarian for a complete list.
She should visit the veterinarian several times in the first year for shots, boosters and check up. Then, as an adult, she should visit the veterinarian yearly for shots and checkup. As she gets older, six years and on, she should visit the veterinarian twice a year for checkups and vaccines. Remember, avoid feeding your sweet the dog.
* Preparation: The Kerry Blue Terrier has a smooth coat, thick and wavy. She needs to be prepared each week. His beard can get dirty and cleaned frequently. She should be prepared professionally, including the ears, on a regular basis.
His ears should be checked once a week and be kept clean. If you her professionally groomed, make sure ear cleaning and inspection is part of the package. No water or excess fluid should get in the ears of dogs, and not try to irrigate the ears. Ear cleaning is too complicated and critical to instruct here. Look for hair growing in the ear canal, excess wax, or moisture. If your ears have a discharge, foul odor or she seems in danger and you suspect an infection or tumor, consult your veterinarian.
Her teeth should be brushing at least twice a week with toothpaste and toothbrush designed for dogs. Brushing removes the accumulation of plaque and tartar which can cause cavities (Rarely) and periodontal disease. Dog periodontal disease can lead to pain, loss of teeth, bad breath and other serious illnesses.
Her nails of the feet may need to be examined for growth and clipped regularly. The toenails of the rear feet grow slower than the toenails of the front legs. Generally a guillotine type trimmer is the best for this chore and competent instructions to accomplish this can be found on the web.
* Life expectancy. The Kerry Blue Terrier can live between 12 and 15 years with proper nutrition, medical care and excellent living conditions.
* History. The Kerry Blue Terrier come from Ireland where it is believed they are a cross Dandie Dinmont Terrier and Irish Terrier. They were used as a farm dog, vermin dog, hunting and guard dog. They were first registered by the American Kennel Association in 1922.
