Irish terriers were bred to hunt rats and other animals. They sniffed out and retrieved game. 

The coat is always red. The harsh wiry coat benefits from being hand-stripped rather than clipped, though the beard and eyebrows can be tidied up with scissors. Brushing the coat to remove dead undercoat will also help. 

An Irish terrier will often pick a fight with other dogs. They make good guard dogs.
