The tag line of this blog is “keeping Glen of Imaal people up to date”. Those words sit right at the top of the page and what is written (and hopefully read) most days is intended to do just that; let people know what is going on that might affect them and their Glens.
Back on [...]

The Glen of Imaal Terrier is the proud “other” cousin of the Terriers of Ireland. Many people in the street have heard of the Kerry Blue and probably the Irish Terrier. At a push they can maybe give a name to the Wheaten hairy one but Glens????? We don’t care (much) because we were officially [...]

Many signed an e-petition asking the Prime Minister to “Oppose any breed
specific legislation in regards to dangerous dogs.”

As always I enjoyed my time with the Glens & was delighted to be asked to judge them at CC level at Crufts. Thank you for a good entry & for the sporting way my decisions were accepted and applauded.
Type is perhaps a little diverse at the moment & I was constantly trying to balance [...]
We are certainly talented!

Glen of Imaal Terrier people are joined by their love of the breed but we all have another life, often referred to as the day job, and it is incredibly varied what we all get up to. As Spring finally approaches (only another two days to go) have a look here and scroll down to the [...]

After Crufts it was asked if Glen of Imaal Terriers were turning into a “3″ breed? Yes we are! Yesterday was the Irish Kennel Club Celtic Winners Show (which will always be known as the St Patrick’s Day bash to people of a certain age) and Homer was Best of Breed which means he now [...]

It’s March 17th and the “home turf” of Glen of Imaal Terriers is pretty obvious by their name so HAPPY ST. PATRICK’S DAY.
What should be the blog of the day? Leprachauns, Guinness and Riverdance would satisfy some but maybe a bit too cliched (even for us) so to honour the day and to give the owners [...]

Have a look at this. It has been examined upside down and inside out. The microdot has been looked for and invisible ink has been mused upon but even after half a dozen times of reading the same answer still comes up: the Kennel Club have had another one of their moments!
It was an incredibly [...]
