A Kerry Blue Terrier is a dog breed that comes from Kerry, Ireland. It is used for hunting, cattle herding, and as a watchdog.

Some characteristics of a Kerry Blue Terrier include a long head, flat skull, deep chest, and a soft curly coat that comes in several shades of blue (the term for "gray" in dog coats). Puppies are born with a lighter coat color; the blue appears gradually as the puppy grows older.

It is very loyal and gentle towards children and is a great pet.
