About Us

Stirling Irish Terriers is owned and operated by Stuart Cartwright and Patrick Beyrow. Located in Saint-Baudel, France, we are owners, breeders, groomers, and handlers of Irish Terriers. Being in love with this breed since 1977, we are fortunate to now have the right circumstances to actively breed and show these amazing dogs.

Patrick started grooming terriers in 1986 in Hamburg, Germany. It began with Scottish and West Highland White Terriers. Soon, he also groomed Norfolk and Norwich, as well as Border terriers. For about 10 years, Patrick groomed around 20 show dogs as well as many pet terriers.

Patrick began grooming Irish Terriers full-time in 2012 with our foundation bitch. We currently have nine Irish Terriers living with us, and occasionally, we will groom Irish Terriers for friends. However, we are open to groom for people we know, if times allows.

We are active members of the Irish Terrier Club of America, the Irish Terrier Club of Chicago, and the Great Lakes All Terrier Association. In October of 2017, the Irish Terrier Club of America awarded us the Martha Hall Memorial Trophy for winning the greatest number of points from the Bred by Exhibitor Class in 2016. In October of 2019, the Irish Terrier Club of America again awarded us the Martha Hall Memorial Trophy for winning the greatest number of points from the Bred by Exhibitor Class in 2018.

We are very selective in our breeding program and we have been very successful in producing beautiful and healthy Irish Terriers. We are very knowledgable of the pedigrees of our dogs, as well as studying the pedigrees and characteristics of other Irish Terrier kennels to determine what is right for us, and what we believe is best to preserve the Irish Terrier breed. In some cases we have searched for years in advance to find the right sire for one of our dams. Health and temperament are a high priorities in our Irish Terrier breeding program.

We are proud of the breeding we have done and of the pedigrees of our Irish Terriers. The individual pedigrees for every one of our dogs can be found on our dogs individual pages in the "Our Family" section of this website.
