Also known as Glen
A sturdy, low-set Irish terrier with a calm, stubborn streak
The Glen of Imaal Terrier hails from the Wicklow hills in Ireland, where it hunted foxes and badgers and turned spits as a kitchen dog. It is sturdy, quiet and affectionate, but determined, and slower to mature than many terriers.

This breed needs about 60 minutes of activity a day. Around 3 sitter-led sessions a week keeps that routine going when work or travel gets in the way.

Less than many terriers. It is a fairly quiet dog that gives voice when something needs attention.
Yes, they are devoted and steady, and good with respectful children. They can be strong-willed, so training should begin early.
Very little. The double coat needs regular brushing and hand-stripping to remove dead hair and stay comfortable.
