The Kerry Blue Terrier: An Irish Legend

The Kerry Blue Terrier is born black. As it grows, it turns into a slate-grey color, with definite tones of silvery blue. The adult Kerry can be anywhere from a deep shade of blue to a silvery gray with blue overtones. This is a terrier with some uniquely "un terrier" tendencies. He is noted as being an apt swimmer and has even been known to take on an otter in deep water. He is of course, like all terriers, an excellent ratter and vermin hunter.
