Kerry Blue Terriers were originally bred in the 1800s by a man named Lord Ross, who wanted to create an all-around hunting dog. The first kennel was opened around 1840 and they became very popular as hunters because of their versatility and ability to adapt themselves to different types of terrain. Although they were first bred for hunting, Kerry blue terriers are often kept as family pets because of their gentleness and good-natured personality.

Kerry Blues have a beautiful, wavy coat that doesn't require too much work to maintain. They do shed quite a bit during the springtime, but if you brush them regularly they won't leave too much hair around the house. They also have a distinctive beard and mustache that should be trimmed regularly to keep them looking neat.

Overall, the Kerry Blue Terrier is a great breed for people who want a versatile dog that is both good with children and can handle itself in the outdoors. They are easy to groom and are just as happy being a family dog as they are hunting. This breed is also very laid back, so if you're looking for an active pet that isn't too high energy then this might be the perfect choice for you!
