Dear family and friends,

My name is

Róisín na Dun na nGall

("Ro-sheen from Donegal").

Like my two predecessors, I am an Irish Soft-Coated Wheaten Terrier or - as the Irish call me - a "Brocaire Bruí".

Róisín means "Little Rose" in Gaelic but actually this is not about a flower. While Ireland was occupied, the Irish were not allowed to sing protest songs so they camouflaged them as love songs. Little Black Rose is one of the most famous ones. "Róisín Dubh" meant "Ireland" itself. Mummy and Daddy found that appropriate (not Dubh = “black” of course; Wheatens are the color of ripened wheat), as they are loyal fans of my breed’s homeland.

Please join me as I grow and develop new interests and habits. Just click on the links below, which will take you to the different stages and experiences in my life in Bramstedt with Mummy and Daddy and my friends.

I would love to hear from you at:  roisin1010@gmx.de  

Love and sweet doggie kisses from
                                                                 Róisín!
