Glen of Imaal Terrier

I found this dog a few weeks ago. Had never heard of it before but it seems pretty cool. Not sure if they're easy or hard to find from breeders, but let me know what you think about it.


Glen of Imaal Terrier
Size: 34-36 lbs 
Life expectancy: 13-14 years
Grooming: Usually twice per year
Shedding: Little to none

Pros
Mellow and gentle. Mild-mannered and calm indoors.
Playful, especially outdoors
Will bark if it detects danger, but rarely without a good reason
Generally less excited than other terriers

Cons
Can have problems if underexercised
Can become stubborn if owners are too meek or passive

Let us know what you think in the comments below. And be sure to vote in the poll on the right side.

    Moderately fluffy, but almost shaggy. Thumbs up

    My parents have a terrier mix (we think she is part wheaton terrier) they got from a shelter and she is a great dog! Terriers are active but don't tend to be too super hyper so I could see them making a good apartment dog.
