I adopted a dog from the humane society. She had been found as a stray, and labeled terrier mix. Her body shape with a broad chest and shoulders, long body and short legs were adorable and unlike any terrier I'd ever seen. So I started researching all over the internet. My dog is definitely the adorable Glen of Imaal terrier. But there are some unique 'quirks' about her; her face/head is half wheaten, half blue. One ear is the perky ear with droopy tip and the other is the floppy. Her body is wheaten. She has a double dew claw. She weighs more than what I've read for the standard of the breed. Everything but her 50 lbs matches Glen of Imaal. Could she be mixed? Or just the adorable odd ball? I've had pure bred labs that vary in weight so that's what makes me think she could be pure Glen of Imaal.
***Update. It has been brought to my attention recently by my sons, who havent seen Abby in two years, that I've let my Glen gain too much weight. Putting her on a slow diet ti get her closer to 40lds.
I used to live in Greystones, County Wicklow Ireland and I had no idea they had their own dog breed! Now I know my perfect furbaby breed. 🥰

You could always do a canine DNA test if you are intent on knowing her lineage. The tests cost about the same as they do for humans.
