A breed that I would consider adopting is the Irish Terrier.  This is a breed sometimes known as the daredevil of dogdom.  The Irish terrier is brash, bold and always ready for action and adventure. These dogs like to chase anything that appears, and run and hunt and explore.  They need plenty of  physical and mental exercise every day, in a safe area. If you have to go for long walks with your terrier you can take the ipods as long as you stay aware of distractions around you and keep him on a lead.  Given sufficient exercise, these dogs are surprisingly well-mannered and dignified indoors.

The Irish Terrier is closely related to the Wheaten Terrier, also to the Bedlington Terrier, Border Terrier,
Cairn Terrier and the Dandie Dinmont Terrier. The closest relative is, of course, the Airedale Terrier, to which the Irish Terrier bears a very close resemblance.
