E. F. Despard, whose name is well known in Irish terrier circles as a very suc- ces-sful breeder and exhibitor, claims an acquaintance of over forty years with the breed. " Mr. George Jameson, too, has known and kept them many years, and up till a little while ago had won more prizes than all the rest of the breeders put together. I mention these proofs of the age of the breed to show those who have lately come to admire them that it is not a made-up, composite or mushroom breed. . . . " From t...he same authority we quote : " Now, although they have always been Ireland's national terrier, yet it must be admitted, and it is only too patent, that for many years the breed had been much neglected, — allowed to ' grow wild, ' in fact, and left too much in the hands of one class. I cast no reflection on ' the foinest pisintry in Europe ' when I say that, knowing nothing of dog shows, they bred to no standard, and kept their dogs for work ; and if they thought that a cross with neighbor Mickey's dog would improve their own in that quality, they did not stop to inquire about pedigree.
