It has been a full week. Bad news, good news, reminders, everything. Before the frantic last few days until a certain event at the NEC why not have a smile?
Archive for February, 2009
Let’s take a minute to smile!

National Terrier entries close today. There are a full set of classes with Challenge Cerificates for Glen of Imaal Terriers and the judge is Eileen Foy. Eileen, with her long connection to Glens, is a good excuse to recount a small tale just for the people who like “the good old days”.
Eileen was the first [...]
Not quite West Hollywood…

The Kennel Club and Sunset & Vine: Upscale apartments and designer shopping. An outstanding view from the roof. Sunset Boulevard…..or a television production company?
Of course the Kennel Club aren’t moving to the fabled West Coast of California but the television company isn’t a let down. Indeed Sunset and Vine, the new company to televise Crufts, [...]
Our sympathies to Paul, his brother & sister

We extend our sympathies to Paul Eardley on the recent death of his mother Sheila. She regularly showed her dogs and could always be seen ringside until a severe stroke last July. Her funeral is next Monday at 2.00pm. Paul will still be judging Glen of Imaal Terriers at Crufts the following Thursday.

DNA profiling….
Posted in General dog things on February 23, 2009 | 1 Comment »
If any Glen of Imaal Terrier owner (or any breed owner come to that) is thinking getting their animals DNA profiled you need to get it done NOW as the Kennel Club are whapping up the price to £25.00 from next month. Yes of course the KC DO want dog people to do every health [...]
Westminster

Westminster 2009 is into the history books now but the Glen of Imaal Terrier results must be mentioned here. This show is different from Crufts insofar as only the top 5 in each breed are actually invited to compete. This year it was Laura & Peg’s Dermot, Jo’s Rosie, Andy & Mary’s Riley, Colleen’s Finn [...]
Get the hankie out….

A matter of a few hours and already comments and emails. It is very touching to know the blog was missed!
The photograph now resident at the top was taken in 1981 and to those of us around then it isn’t old. How can it be when we aren’t….well not on the inside anyway! Left to [...]
Two weeks on…..

Two weeks on and we are back! Would we have been missed? Would anybody have thought to send along things of interest or would it have been out of sight and out of mind? Glen of Imaal Terrier people haven’t been the only ones to pass along snippets for general consumption so muchas gracias and [...]
One year on….

Twelve months ago the idea came up of “would a blog work?” to advertise the EFG PRA Fundraising weekend. It was only going to be an occasional thing now and again but 220 posts later it is virtually daily and people complain when it isn’t there. (Much appreciated). Glen of Imaal Terriers, Kennel Club, general [...]
