Ireland is an incredible place. From the metropolitan cities to the open landscapes, it’s always been one of my favorite regions to visit. I spent some of the most memorable days of my childhood there, messing about in boats and chatting with the friendly locals.
Irish dog names are a lovely way to give a nod to your top holiday destination or awesome Irish heritage.
I’ve taken my inspiration from popular Irish locations, landscape features, produce and of course traditional names.
