The American Kennel Club Celebrates These Irish Dog Breeds


It’s no surprise that Ireland has produced many immortal writers, poets and musicians, but did you know there are several dog breeds that hail from the Emerald Isle?   In honor of St. Patrick’s Day on March 17th, the American Kennel Club® celebrates the breeds of Ireland.
