Have an Irish Setter, an Irish Wolfhound, an Irish Water Spaniel, or an Irish Terrier? Then you may wish to consider Irish dog names for your companion from the Emerald Isle.
You may need Irish dog names if you keep Kerry Blue Terriers, Wheaton Terriers, Glen of Imaal Terriers, Kerry Beagles, or Irish Red and White Setters.
Or, your family heritage may be from this relatively small country with a big heart, so you wish to give your canine companions Irish dog names.
Then again, you may consider Irish dog names simply because they sound good.
Whatever the reasons, consider any of these on this list of Irish dog names if your new pal is as small as an Irish Terrier or as big as an Irish Wolfhound.
