We are currently deciding between an Irish terrier or a Manchester terrier.
We've spoken with breeders and got lots of info, and have a pretty good idea of what we're getting into, but we haven't gone to meet them yet as wanted to wait till we had made a final decision
I would love to hear some first hand experiences since they're not easy dogs to come across (vulnerable /at risk breeds)
Does anyone have either?
What's their temperament like generally? - the only ITs I've met were lovely and the MTs were standoffish and incredibly barky(you expect some of this with a terrier of course)
How do you find grooming routines (the ITs I've met absolutely reeked which surprised me!)
Can they go off lead? Obviously with training
Anything else you know about either breed?
Thanks!
