    Glen of Imaal Terriers

    The Glen of Imaal Terrier hails from Ireland and although at one time a very popular breed today they have been placed on The Kennel Club's list of vulnerable native breeds and very few puppies are bred and registered with the club every year. Also known as the Wicklow Terrier they are tough yet extremely gentle which has made them popular hunting dogs as well as great companions and family pets for many years.
