A little about us

Pam has been breeding and showing terriers for nearly four decades. Her passion for the Irish Terrier began about ten years into her showing career and has never wavered. She is widely regarded as one of Australia's foremost Irish Terrier breeders, with a reputation built on honesty, integrity, and an uncompromising…

Why we got involved in breeding

Born and raised in regional NSW, Pam's connection to animals and the land has always been central to her life. She began her journey in purebred dogs in the late 1980s, initially showing in other terrier breeds before the spirit and fire of the Irish Terrier captured her heart entirely.

Our special touch

At Braecrest, Irish Terriers are first and foremost family companions. We select for true breed temperament — the spirited, brave, trainable, and deeply loyal nature that defines the breed. Our dogs live as part of our family, raised in the country at Wirrimah.
