When I was searching the Web for pictures of Irish dogs for my St. Patrick’s Day post, I came across the folks at  Native Dogs of Ireland  who were gracious enough to allow me to re-post some of their lovely photographs. The group attends Irish-themed events in their home state of Minnesota. Their mission, in part, is to

educate and share our love of the breed’s native to Ireland and all their rich history and charm, and to share our stories and knowledge of owning and raising the dogs of our choice.

According to their website, there are currently eight recognized breeds from Ireland: The Irish Terrier, The Glen of Imaal Terrier, The Kerry Blue, The Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier, The Red Irish Setter, the Red & White Irish Setter, Irish Water Spaniel and lastly, the Dog of Kings, the Irish Wolfhound.

The Wolfhound and the Red Irish Setter are easy enough to identify, but how well can you recognize the other breeds?
