The Irish Kennel Club will launch their Golden Paw Hero Dog Awards at the Festival of Dogs. This award is to recognise and celebrate the dogs who unconditionally give themselves to us in so many important ways, saving lives in combat situations or lending sight or hearing to their human companions or providing therapeutic support or just greeting us with a wagging tail and enriching our lives at the end of a long day.

Meet some of the nominees at the Festival and join us in saluting 'Patron' the Ukrainian Dog who has uncovered over 200 Landmines and recently was awarded the Medal of Courage by President Zelensky. 'Patron' will receive an Honorary Golden Paw from the Irish Kennel Club.

Not all heroes wear capes, some wear collars...🐾

Unfortunately due to concerns about the Covid 19 virus outbreak and in the interest of the safety of all, the Irish Kennel Club have decided to postpone the St Pawtrick's event this weekend and have issued the following statement;

Statement from ‘The Irish Kennel Club' 11th March 2020

As our prime concern is the health and welfare of our members and the wider community the Board of The Irish Kennel Club has regretfully decided to postpone our two International Dog Shows on 14th, 15th and the ‘Pawtrick’s Day’ event on 17th March 2020.
This decision was not taken lightly and was the result of advice from Government Departments and the Health Authorities.
It is our intention to reschedule these events at a later date as the situation becomes clearer.

Stay safe and thank you for your understanding.

The Board of ‘The Irish Kennel Club’

Meet the Kerry Blue Terrier at the St Pawtrick's Day Family Dog Show at the National Show Centre in Cloghran on 17th March.

An Brocaire Gorm, the Kerry Blue Terrier was originally bred to control vermin. Nowadays, more commonly seen as a companion dog. The first literary reference to the breed dates back to 1847.

The Irish Nationalist Leader, Michael Collins was a big fan of the Kerry Blue and tried to have them declared the National Dog of Ireland. Collins, famously owned and exhibited a Kerry Blue named Convict 224.

The first dog Club in Ireland was the Dublin Irish Blue Terrier Club, dedicated to this breed, and they will be in attendance at St Pawtrick's Day. The success of this Club led to the foundation of the Irish Kennel Club in 1922 and the first dog to be registered with the Irish Kennel Club was....A Kerry Blue Terrier.

Come along and meet the Kerry Blue Terrier at St Pawtrick's Day.
