Do you know this breed?

 

Another of my favorite breeds…the Glen of Imaal Terrier!  This breed is a native of Ireland and is considered to be a big dog with short legs!  They were originally bred to chase vermin and hunt badger and fox but they also had a unique task to perform…they were turnspit dogs.  The turnspit was a large wheel that, when paddled by the dog, would turn a spit over the hearth.  In essence, it was a canine propelled rotisserie!  How cool is that?  They are just the cutest dogs!  Don’t you love this pair?
