Health testing today is standard with most breeders and there is great awareness by breeders when deciding to breed their Kerry. Nevertheless Charitable Funds continues to seek ways to improve the overall health of the Kerry and your donations contribuite to that work.
The Kerry Blue Terrier is a very healthy breed. However, like all living things. health issues do arise from time to time. The size of our Charitable Funds does not permit sponsoring individual research projects therefore Charitable Funds carefully monitors the research grants of the AKC Canine Health Foundation and other organizations focused on dog health. Our goal is to find research where we can contribute where their work overlaps the needs of the Kerry Blue.
