BOOK ANNOUNCEMENT: "Ireland’s Native Breeds"

 
Did you know that most people can’t name more than three or four native Irish animal breeds? Yet, our eastern-Atlantic teddy-shaped rock is actually home to twenty-one distinct, living embodiments of our heritage.In this special announcement, host Liam Blake reveals his upcoming book, "Ireland’s Native Breeds." From the Irish Wolfhound—a near mythical giant that can stand over two meters tall—to the Native Irish Honey Bee, which has thrived here since the last ice sheets retreated 9,000 years ago, these animals are more than just animals; they are our "living roots."
