‘Dogumentary’ tells tale of Ireland’s love for its canines including Michael Collins’ fondness for Kerry blue terriers

A famous Corkman’s love for a Kerry dog is just one aspect of a ‘dogumentary’ series on Ireland’s native breeds that airs this week.

Michael Collins’ fondness for Kerry blue terriers is to be recalled in Madraí na nGael, a six-part series starting tomorrow night on TG4.

The series’ producers say the show will highlight “the original working nature of our nine Irish native dog breeds and some of the people who love them”.
