The Glen of Imaal Terrier is a sturdy, low-set Irish breed with a calm, determined nature. Less excitable than some terriers, Glens are affectionate with family but still retain the courage and grit of their terrier roots.
They need regular walks and moderate play but are generally adaptable to quieter lifestyles. Their harsh coat needs brushing and occasional stripping. With consistent, positive training, Glens are charming companions with plenty of personality packed into a compact frame.
