Jowett's exhaustive book on the evolution of the breed from the earliest days of the Irish Terrier as a show dog to the present day. This is the definitive book on the origin and standard of the Irish Terrier breed. Jowett writes that Irish terriers "They are described by an old Irish writer as being the poor man's sentinel, the farmer's friend, and the gentleman's favourite...These dogs were originally bred not so much for their looks as for their working qualities and gameness, the Irish Terrier being by instinct a thorough vermin killer. They were formerly of all types and of all colours – black-and-tan, grey-and-brindle, wheaten of all shades, and red being the predominant colours. Colour or size evidently did not matter if they were hardy and game." History of the Fashionable Family Pet c1933 The Irish Terrier Breed FM Jowett Track Page Views WithAuctiva's FREE Counter
