Adopting a Kerry Blue Terrier

Frequently asked questions about acquiring an Kerry Blue Terrier - the pros and cons of adopting versus going through a breeder, and associated costs.

You can adopt a Kerry Blue Terrier at a much lower cost than buying one from a breeder. The cost of adopting a Kerry Blue Terrier is typically $50 to $300. The adoption fee often covers an initial exam, vaccines, preventatives, microchipping, and spay/neuter. 

In contrast, buying Kerry Blue Terriers from breeders can be prohibitively expensive. Depending on their breeding, they can cost $1,000 to $2,000.

The easiest way to adopt a Kerry Blue Terrier is through a rescue that specializes in Kerry Blue Terriers, a general terrier rescue, or through a shelter. A great place to start is with a breed search on Adopt a Pet, which will show you all the available Kerry Blue Terriers in your search radius.

Kerry Blue Terrier fun facts

Fun Facts:

The Kerry Blue Terrier is the national dog of Ireland.

The long beard and bangs of the Kerry Blue Terrier serve a purpose: when bolting foxes, rats, and other animals out of their hiding places, the hair protects their face and eyes from the sharp claws of their prey.

In the 18th and 19th centuries, Kerry Blue Terriers were used as hunters, herders, ratters, and family companions alike.
