It was Birmingham City Championship Show this weekend and no Glen of Imaal Terriers entered. Once upon a time this show was well supported. Bill Brown-Cole who is giving tickets in Glens next year had his first appointment for the breed there. It was something that caused a lot of interest; an ultra professional Wire Fox Terrier [...]

“THE” slogan for all concerned Glen of Imaal Terrier people “Glen of Imaal Terriers-Beating PRA Together” takes a new slant the first weekend of September. Maybe they are considerably hairier than Glens, considerably taller and certainly more messy but Otterhounds also have a problem and theirs is epilepsy. September 7th is their day to raise [...]

It seems something is happening in Denmark that Glens owners there have never encountered before….doorstepping. In the UK many Glen people have been stopped in the street or had people with an accent suddenly knocking on the front door and asking if you have Glen of Imaal Terriers?

“That” programme will occupy the gossip for a while yet as to what responsible breeders can do. To use jargon (well everybody does) they could always have a Code of Best Practice which they follow.

Months have just been spent organising a FUNd raiser to help pay costs in the fight against the PRA geme in Glen of Imaal Terriers and now the papers are full of a forthcoming television programme that says nobody cares that pedigree dogs have problems.

Welsh Kennel Club had an upside down “family” result….why upside down? The Best Dog (& BOB) was Homer and even though sister Eilish did well she was only RBB. Best Bitch went to young Fern with her dad Buster getting Reserve Dog. A family result indeed….but you can see why it is upside down!

An unusual occurence; A Glen of Imaal Terrier advert in the dog paper and a half page colour at that! Nice to see that some are avoiding being affected too much by the credit crunch.
