                 Character of The Glen of Imaal Terrier

    The Glen of Imaal Terrier is a wonderful animal  full of playfulness, 
  amusement, and adoration for  its owner. It seems that some Glens do 
  obedience work quite readily, always obeying, with the pleasing of their 
  master their top priority, and sometimes, it seems they only pretend to be 
  obedient!
       Glen of Imaal Terriers 'talk' to many of their owners, if a toy or  bone 
  has been pushed under a piece of furniture, many of them will 'call' you to  
  come and help! It is also said that they are very  discerning of strangers, 
  intuitively knowing if the person has good or bad intentions. They are a 

  cheerful lot, wanting very much to please their master or mistress, seemingly 
  being extremely upset upon being scolded. It doesn't often take more than 
  one sharp scolding to make sure they don't repeat the infraction. Most 
  Glens put up patiently with any thing you or the kids ask of then, whether it 
  is grooming or being pushed in a baby carriage, quite often it is done without 
  complaint. 

 



      All of the Glens love long walks in the woods or on city sidewalks, adapting 
  readily to life in an apartment, or on a farm. Barking seems to vary as to how much
  is allowed by the master. Glen of Imaal Terriers are classified as silent working 
  dogs, but excellent watch dogs. They should bark an alarm when necessary, but 
  should keep quiet when there is nothing to be upset about. Definitely  discourage 
  any wayward barking in a pup.
       The one thing that is continually said of them that they are a breed full of 
  personality, love, courage, and intelligence. What a dog!
