In the UK Leeds Championship Show saw Ch/Int Ch Brockland Brayhead Lad took BOB from Veteran with Ch Donvaleset Brier getting the nod for the bitch ticket over Ch Winni Wanna Make Music at Jeonty. Reserve Dog was Kirikee Ronan O’Gara with a debuting puppy, Bregorrey Lady Belleisle, taking home the BPIB rosette.
In the USA GCH Liberty’s Darren of Daulton was BOB in an entry of 15 at Dan Emmett Kennel Club whilst Finland, at Pori International, Ch Taramont Phelan was BOB. The latest Champion in the Glen of Imaal Terrier world is Carrighglen Big Boy who has added French Champion to the front of his name. Well done to everybody
The Shooting Times have an article about the Glen of Imaal Terrier in their issue of 20th July. It’s a nice piece so have a look round for it.
Besides doing Glen of Imaal Terrier rescue Glen Services also assists breeders with placing their older dogs. They currently have somebody looking for a placement later in the year so has anybody got a male Glen (not a puppy) looking to pack the proverbial little “red spotted handkerchief?”. The person is extremely experienced Glen owner. If you can help please email Liz malsville@dsl.pipex.com

Postal entries close today for Darlington Championship Show. Held 14-16 September Glen of Imaal Terriers are on Friday 14th and are to be judged by Paul Wilkinson.
The Finnish Glen of Imaal Terrier Club held their Speciality Show at the weekend. An excellent total of 47 Glens were entered for Kirsi Sainio from Finland. Best In Show went tto nine year old Gleann Rabarber Dröm and Best Opposite Sex to Gleann Uaid MacDonald.Congratulations!
Contrary to rumours Leeds Championship Show will be going ahead July 27-29. The ground is in an excellent state not having had anything on it for two months. The grass is being cut. It is not waterlogged in any way as it has excellent drainage.
The secretary has spoken and nobody would dare contradict Liz so next weekend will see 19 Glen of Imaal Terriers being assessed by Margaret McDonald-Cross. It is hardly a surprise people were wondering though as Mfest, due to be held on the same ground earlier this month, was cancelled due to the organisers “feeling the main tents would become unsafe due to the waterlogged ground not being able to support the anchors and supports”. Plus The Great Yorkshire Show, only ten miles away from Harewood, was cancelled after day 1 due to the state of the ground.
Just to say a big thank you for those who supported the very hectic EFG weekend, our best yet, and been so busy have not had chance to finalise monies,estimate Hearing Dogs could get in the region of £700 after expenses.
In an entry of over 200 at the EFG Companion Show it’s impossible to show all the beautiful dogs doing classes and agility but a selection is below. If you would like a copy of any photograph please contact lindisamuel@hotmail.com
