The Irish Valley Terrier is a small dog with medium-length hair and great strength, used for hunting badgers, foxes and otters.

In 1575, George Tubberfer mentioned the Imaar Valley Terrier in his book "Noble Temperament". This charming terrier gets its name from its Irish homeland, the Imaar Valley. At the time, these tough, aggressive, shaggy terriers were bred to hunt defensive animals. They work quietly, dragging prey from burrows. When hunting, they stomp on their prey with their thick, slightly curved front legs, and then bite with their powerful teeth. They also learned the habits of wild birds and mammals to carry their prey.

The Irish Canyon Terrier is like a fully charged, energetic dog, so the best owner is someone who loves physical exercise and can accompany it for a lot of exercise every day. It is very loyal to the family, can follow the instructions of any family member, and can get along well with the elderly and children.
