CAVADHAR KERRY BLUE TERRIERS
|
Located in southern Tasmania, Australia, we are proud to present this most beautiful breed, the Kerry Blue Terrier. Our lives changed when our first Kerry, Tippa and then our foundation girl Dharty came into the family . Hooked for life! We are sure that you will also fall in love with a KBT if you decide this is the breed for you. They have that mix of beauty and brave spirit that captures the eye and heart.

Whether it's a kitchen, the garden or even growing in a plant pot, a Kerry is right at home. They are a family dog that will play joyfully and snuggle endlessly. Presenting this type of Kerry is all important to us. They do have strong wills, after all they are Irish and terrier. A Kerry has endless patience and is eager to learn. We hope that this site and the many others which we're sure you are enjoying help you in your breed and dog selection.

The Kerry Blue Coat
|
The Kerry's most distinguishing characteristic is its coat. Described in the breed standard as "soft, dense, and wavy," it does not shed and can be tolerated by many people with pet allergies. The colour of an adult Kerry (puppies are born black) ranges from light silver to a dark blue-grey, which gives the breed its name.
The coat is trimmed to give Kerrys their classical terrier look. However, this crowning glory can also be the breed's challenge for new owners. It is not a high maintenance coat it just needs to be thoroughly brushed and combed at least once a week, and a regular trim is essential. Not brushing will result in matting in all non-shedding breeds. |
