In the Veterinary Record (July 18th edition) the following letter was printed:-
Dear Sir
The Glen of Imaal Terrier is classed as a vulnerable breed, with births averaging below 50 a year. As breed secretary I am taking an increasing number of calls from Glen owners about veterinary nurses advocating the routine spaying and neutering of their [...]
For anybody who missed it.

The New Zealand government has recently, in view of their own scientific findings, rescinded docking legislation. In other words DOCKING IS LEGAL AGAIN!. Not just any Tom, Dick or Harry can do it, the procedure can only be done by Vets & “accredited dockers”. A country the other side of the world stands up for [...]

No, we haven’t stopped raising money. The specific website, efgfundraising, has been taken down. It will be up again soon with details of how you can (again) part with your money to benefit the search for the rogue gene that causes late onset PRA in the Glen of Imaal Terrier.

The terrier tent at the Game Fair was a very interesting mix but nobody seemed to know what it was. There were Glen of Imaals, Sealyhams, Smooth Fox, Skyes, Dandie Dinmonts, Manchester, Irish & Norwich so the first reaction was the “so-called” Vulnerables but where was the Kerry, Lakeland, Welsh and Mini Bull? It wasn’t [...]

If you have a spare five minutes take time to have a look at this. Read it properly, playing careful attention to the Kennel Club letter (pages one and two) listed halfway down. Of all the breeds possible the KC try to bully the German Shepherd Dog fraternity????? They must be feeling very brave, or [...]

Glen of Imaal Terrier people don’t often bother with the Breeder Class at Championship Shows but maybe it should be thought about more often. Back at National Terrier Jean entered the Jeonty team and was pulled in fourth in the Group by Paul Wilkinson. Yesterday at Leeds the Amhard crew of Mel & Anne were [...]

Native Dog Breeds Trust closes it doors.

News was released recently that the Native Dog Breeds Trust is to disband and, unfortunately, it isn’t much of a surprise. The idea, to promote British breeds, was an excellent one but even at the first meeting in 2003 it was obvious the way forward would be a rocky one. The guidelines were adopted from [...]
