Before the 1880s, the color of the Irish Terrier had not been determined. In addition to red, it is sometimes black, tan, and sometimes markings. At the end of the 19th century, efforts were made to filter out the black, tan, and striped Irish terriers until all the Irish terriers revealed their red fur.

A female dog named Poppy, which has won two dog shows, has a bright red color, as the name suggests, which has a major influence on the breed. Because all her offspring are the same charming color. It was identified as the first purebred Irish Terrier and the first native Irish dog breed to be recognised by the British Kennel Club (KC). The red-furred Irish terrier soon appeared on standpoints in britain and the United States and was warmly welcomed.

The Irish Terrier is the most lively of the Terrier Group, with a body and legs longer than any other terrier. They are gentle, courageous and competitive. Lively and full of life, indifferent to opponents, full of reckless courage for it to earn it the title of "reckless and bold dog". But socially, it is friendly, affectionate, and absolutely loyal to humans. This rugged, brave but friendly, tolerant dog has always been its male and female owners and children's protectors from danger and injury. Its life is a life of loyalty and dedication, a protective wall that never falls between family and danger. The Irish Terrier is a family pet, guard dog and hound. Suitable for city life, but also adaptable to cold climates.
