Kerry Blue Terrier

The Kerry Blue Terrier is a versatile working breed that originated in County Kerry, Ireland, where it was used for hunting small game, herding, and retrieving from water. Its hallmark soft, wavy blue-gray coat—which develops from black at birth, gradually transitioning to the characteristic blue by adulthood—makes it one of the most visually distinctive of all terriers. Known for its spirited and adaptable character, the Kerry Blue is devoted to its family but retains the tenacious, strong-willed nature typical of terrier breeds.
