Some of you may have seen the ads (or even seen the movie) for "Firehouse Dog". The movie features a rather uncommon breed, the Irish Terrier. I've owned an IT for 2 years now, and I'm already getting e-mails from people asking me where to get one based solely on the movie:( Our breeder was...

Yesterday my kid opened the door and our dog (year old Irish Terrier) went to run out. Not really thinking I grabbed her collar and pulled her back (there was some traffic on the street and was very worried she'd run out into it). She coughed a bit after and gagged once, but nothing serious, so...

Ok - I know I'm not around here much, and that I am a relatively new (and quiet) member of the chaz community, but I really would appreciate any thoughts or prayers you could spare for my parents. I just got back from spending a week with my terminally ill father. He is in the final stages of...

Hope this works, in any case anyone wants to see my fur baby! Didn't work, will try again another day, LOL!

My 6-month old Irish Terrier somehow managed to get a granola bar with chocolate chips away from a toddler that is visiting us. I think she ate about half of it, maybe a bit more. I don't know how many chips is in one of the bloody things, but I can't imagine it's enough to harm her. We don't...

Irish Terrier! Wow, what an excellent little dog our new IT is. She's enthusiastic and goofy, and yet she's also clever. She's a terrier, which means she has a definite obsessive side (for instance, if a chewie goes under the couch she will in fact bark at it for hours, LOL), and I'm not sure...

I am so very upset and worried right now. About a month and a half ago we brought home our delightful, wonderful, amazing little Irish Terrier pup. We waited for this little pup for a full year after the tragic loss of our beloved Chessie to cancer (an event which was devastating for my whole...

My Irish Terrier pup is now 11 weeks old. She's an absolutely delightful little dog, but I'm encountering kind of an odd house-training issue and wondered if any of you has some advice or experience with this. She is having regular bowel movements outdoors and has not pooped in the house yet...

Back into dog ownership! (or should that be back into the state of bliss known as "puppy love", LOL?). :) As of 10 days ago I now have a dog back into my world, although instead of a Chessie I now own/ am owned by a lovely little female Irish Terrier! Her name is Cassie (full registered...

I don't know who started this whole thing of dogs as accessories (Paris Hilton, perhaps?) but it sure seems to be catching on. I was shopping in a very "artsy" neighbourhood in another city a few days ago, and every single store was selling tiny jeweled collars, dog shirts with feather boa trim...

I am bringing home a new puppy very soon (YAY!) and have been receiving a great deal of conflicting info about one issue, which is WHEN the puppy shuld be "out and about" to begin socialization. The puppy will be 9 weeks with one set of vaccines, and the breeder says we should begin taking her...

Our beloved Chesapeake bay Retreiver was euthanized last year due to a terminal form of cancer. It was a horrible experience from the moment he was diagnosed, and it took us a full year to even feel like we could possibly consider another dog. Now, we are getting a new puppy, an Irish...

Hi! I am soon welcoming into my home (and heart) an Irish Terrier puppy. My daughter is keenly interested in agility and is hoping we could train the puppy for agility (I would be the one doing the training and the running, LOL, as my daughter is only 5). I'm wondering how easy/hard it is to...

Just thought I should introduce myself! I am from northern Alberta, and have one child. I am also eagerly anticipating the newest addition to our family, an Irish Terrier puppy who will be joining us at the beginning of September. We have been dog-less for a year after our beloved Chesapeake...
