dog. Originally bred to hunt and retrieve, Kerries can be found today
in the show, obedience, agility, herding and earthdog rings. The
Kerry’s trademark soft, wavy coat can range from deep slate gray blue
to light blue gray. Kerry Blues are born black and, if correct, possess
the dominant gene for coat fading. They will fade and acquire their
adult color by 18 months.<br />

<u><b>Kerry Blue Terrier AKC Breed Standards</b></u></h3>
<br />
<b>General Appearance</b> <br />
The typical Kerry Blue Terrier should be upstanding well knit and in
good balance, showing a well-developed and muscular body with definite
terrier style and character throughout. Correct coat and color are
important. A low-slung Kerry is not typical. <br />
<a href="https://encrypted-tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRSb7A890T8A75stG1ViM0Ujzc6J0NlNNoDHk9y28O2O2lSQyuZ" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" class="rg_hi uh_hi" data-height="213" data-width="237" height="213" id="rg_hi" src="https://encrypted-tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRSb7A890T8A75stG1ViM0Ujzc6J0NlNNoDHk9y28O2O2lSQyuZ" style="height: 213px; width: 237px;" width="237" /></a><b>Size, Proportion, Substance</b><br />
The ideal Kerry should be 18½ inches at the withers for a dog,
slightly less for a bitch. In judging Kerries, a height of 18-19½
inches for a dog, and 17½-19 inches for a bitch, should be given
primary preference. Only where the comparative superiority of a
specimen outside of the ranges noted clearly justifies it should
greater latitude be taken. In no case should it extend to a dog over 20
inches or under 17½ inches, or to a bitch over 19½ inches or under 17
inches. The minimum limits do not apply to puppies. The most desirable
weight for a fully developed dog is from 33-40 pounds, bitches weighing
proportionately less. A well-developed and muscular body. Legs
moderately long with plenty of bone and muscle.<br />
<b>Head</b><br />
Long, but not exaggerated, and in good proportion to the rest of the body. Well balanced. <i>Eyes</i>-Dark,
small, not prominent, well placed and with a keen terrier expression.
Anything approaching a yellow eye is very undesirable. <i>Ears</i>-V-shaped,
small but not out of proportion to the size of the dog, of moderate
thickness, carried forward close to the cheeks with the top of the
folded ear slightly above the level of the skull. A "dead" ear,
houndlike in appearance, is very undesirable. <i>Skull</i>-Flat, with
very slight stop, of moderate breadth between the ears, and narrowing
very slightly to the eyes. Foreface full and well made up, not falling
away appreciably below the eyes but moderately chiseled out to relieve
the foreface from wedginess. Little apparent difference between the
length of the skull and foreface. Jaws deep, strong and muscular. <i>Cheeks</i>-Clean and level, free from bumpiness. <i>Nose</i>-Black,
nostrils large and wide. Teeth-Strong, white and either level or with
the upper (incisors) teeth slightly overlapping the lower teeth. An
undershot mouth should be strictly penalized.<br />

<br />
<b>Neck, Topline, Body</b><br />
<i>Neck</i>-Clean and moderately long, gradually widening to the
shoulders upon which it should be well set and carried proudly. Back
short, strong and straight (i.e., level), with no appearance of
slackness. Chest deep and of moderate breadth. Ribs fairly well sprung,
deep rather than round. A slight tuck-up. Loin short and powerful. Tail
should be set on high, of moderate length and carried gaily erect, the
straighter the tail the better.<br />
<b>Forequarters</b><br />
Shoulders fine, long and sloping, well laid back and well knit. The
elbows hanging perpendicularly to the body and working clear of the
side in movement. The forelegs should be straight from both front and
side view. The pasterns short, straight and hardly noticeable. Feet
should be strong, compact, fairly round and moderately small, with good
depth of pad free from cracks, the toes arched, turned neither in nor
out, with black toenails.<br />
<b>Hindquarters</b><br />
Strong and muscular with full freedom of action, free from droop or
crouch, the thighs long and powerful, stifles well bent and turned
neither in nor out, hocks near the ground and, when viewed from behind,
upright and parallel with each other, the dog standing well up on
them.<br />
<b>Coat</b><br />
Correct coat is important it is to be soft, dense and wavy. A harsh,
wire or bristle coat should be severely penalized. In show trim the
body should be well covered but tidy, with the head (except for the
whiskers) and the ears and cheeks clear.<br />

Color is important.<b> </b>The correct mature color is any
shade of blue gray or gray blue from the deep slate to light blue
gray, of a fairly uniform color throughout except that distinctly
darker to black parts may appear on the muzzle, head, ears, tail and
feet. Kerry color, in its process of "clearing," changes from an
apparent black at birth to the mature gray blue or blue gray. The color
passes through one or more transitions--involving a very dark blue
(darker than deep slate), shades or tinges of brown, and mixtures of
these, together with a progressive infiltration of the correct mature
color<b>. </b>The time needed for this “clearing” process
varies with each dog. Small white markings are permissible. Black on
the muzzle, head, ears, tail and feet is permissible at any age. A
black dog 18 months of age or older is never permissible in the show
ring and is to be disqualified.<b> <i>Disqualification - A black
dog 18 months of age or older is to be disqualified. (White markings on
a black dog 18 months of age or older does not constitute clearing or
mature color and the dog is to be disqualified.)</i></b><br />
<b>Gait</b><br />
Full freedom of action. The elbows hanging perpendicularly to the body
and working clear of the sides in movement; both forelegs and hind
legs should move straight forward when traveling, the stifles turning
neither in nor out.<br />
<b><i>Disqualifications</i></b><br />
<i>A black dog 18 months of age or older is to be disqualified.
(White markings on a black dog 18 months of age or older does not
constitute clearing or mature color and the dog is to be disqualified.)</i><br />
<b>Approved October 10, 2005</b><br />

<u><b>Kerry Blue Terrier History</b></u></h3>
<br />
<div id="akccontent">
<div class="hide_all" id="Right_ad" style="float: right; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 20px;">
</div>
The Kerry Blue Terrier originated in Ireland, having been noticed
first in the mountainous regions of County Kerry, hence the name. The
dogs had been pure-bred in that section for over a hundred years.
<br />
Gentle, lovable, and intelligent, the Kerry is an all-round working
and utility terrier, used in Ireland and England for hunting small game
and birds, and for retrieving from land and water. He is used quite
successfully, too, for herding sheep and cattle.
<br />
These dogs were always considered as working and sporting terriers,
no thought being given to them as a bench-show dog. However, after the
formation of the Republic, they began to appear on the bench and met
with quick favor. The first few came out at the Dublin show The Kerry in
Ireland is fostered by the Irish Blue Terrier Club of Dublin, organized
by H. G. Fotterell.
<br />
<a href="https://encrypted-tbn1.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQLSHuVDyPqQG8c6OfhUvyFMzYsnzdoU2pqTRo4RI160KI5vb5U" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" class="rg_hi uh_hi" data-height="251" data-width="176" height="251" id="rg_hi" src="https://encrypted-tbn1.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQLSHuVDyPqQG8c6OfhUvyFMzYsnzdoU2pqTRo4RI160KI5vb5U" style="height: 251px; width: 176px;" width="176" /></a>English fanciers were quick to realize the Kerries’ possibilities if
properly groomed, and the Kennel Club there provided regular
classification for them. Their rise to popularity was almost instant,
and each show brought out increasing numbers of entries.
<br />
The Blue Terrier Club of England, organized by Captain Watts
Williams, is the supporting organization back of the Blues for England.
The English standard is with a few minor exceptions identical with the
American standard in that coats must be trimmed.
<br />
There is more or less conjecture as to who imported the first Kerry
and where it was first shown in this country. However, it appears that
the first important show at which Kerries appeared was at Westminster in
1922. For two years following their initial exhibition at Madison
Square Garden they were relegated to the Miscellaneous Class, but in
1924 they were officially recognized by the American Kennel Club as a
breed and given championship rating.
<br />
During the Westminster show of 1926, a group of fanciers met at the
Waldorf-Astoria in New York City and organized the Kerry Blue Terrier
Club of America. Their stated purpose was to encourage the breeding of
the Kerry, assist its fanciers, adopt a standard, and foster both the
utilitarian and sporting qualities of the dog (with aim toward field
trials as well as dog shows).
