This is Bowie, the Glen of Imaal Terrier that went missing just before Christmas. The boy still isn’t home but paw prints have been found very close to where he was last seen that look very much like his so fingers crossed for the New Year.

If you live, or have friends or relatives, in the Holywell area of North Wales do ask them to keep an eye out.

It’s Christmas Eve..

Lost Glen of Imaal Terrier

Posted on by

A brindle Glen of Imaal Terrier dog went missing today from Pen-y-Ffordd, Holywell, North Wales. He is 5 months old(microchipped) and escaped from the back garden which backs onto fields. His pawprints were tracked but then nothing so it is hoped somebody took him in. Advice has been given re: Doglost, the Wrexham Leader, Chester Chronicle, North Clywd Animal Centre & vets. As 3 Glen breeders used to live in the area there should be a few vets left who will recognise a Glen if it is bought to a surgery. If you know of any people in the area please ask them to keep their eyes open!

Let it download-it’s worth it.

In the UK there has been a Guide to the Glen of Imaal Terrier CD that has been around for a while and has been very well received. The Danish Glen Club has just done one and theirs is online. It is quite picture heavy so takes a while to download but it is worth the wait. It is interesting to see the change in topline (and what is considered correct) from a country that stopped docking many years ago

In the week before Christmas..

…some of us will be missing something that shared in the excitement of last year. “Only dogs” people say who don’t share their lives with them but to us they are so much part of our lives they stand proud as family. So for all Glen of Imaal Terriers, and indeed all dogs, who aren’t there to gaze at the Christmas tree this year the following is dedicated and Alfie (Wickholm In The Line of Fire) who only left recently will take the message along to all who have gone before.

Do not mourn my passing for if you could only see
By slipping all my earthly bonds, I’m young again and free.
By day I run the Heavenly fields, my body healthy and strong
At night I sleep at Angels’ Feet, lulled by Celestial Song.
So do not mourn my passing, just close your eyes – you’ll see
I’m once again that frisky pup, just as you remember me.

 

As it’s Monday…

…what has been going on over the weekend in the Glen of Imaal Terrier world?

A BIG weekend in Finland with the Helsinki Winners & the Finnish Winners. Best of Breed both days was Gleann Nollaig & the BOS was also a repeat with Gleann Queen Size Girl. Indeed all the major awards were repeated!! In America the race is on for the end of the year rankings and Gettysburg was the “biggie” of the weekend…with Terrier Group 2 going to a Glen of Imaal. Gr Ch Coleraine’s Mandalay Royalty added number 19 to her group placement tally!
