Weekend round up

Posted on by

At Seinjoki International Show in Finland BOB Glen of Imaal Terrier was Abberann Fagan with Pearytail Artless Tess Best Opposite Sex. Over in America GCH Daulton’s Emerald Green took BOB at Delaware Ohio and Louise Lopez continues to add to the “brains and beauty” catagory with the folllowing email: Tula and Sullivan both earned their Junior Earthdog titles today at the Northern California Dachshund tests in Dixon. Tula had a time of 24 seconds to quarry in the first run and cut it down to 16seconds in the second. And Sullivan? 12 seconds—my little Torpedo in the Tunnel 🙂
Well done all!

Calling all Glen exhibitors in the EastMidlands/North East.

Today is the very last day for getting an entry into Sporting Terrier Association of Yorkshire. This is one of the most traditional of terrier shows with an honourable history, but unless there is a decent entry this might be the last show they are able to run and Bury has just finished after many years.

There isn’t a single Glen entered.The show takes place on Nov.11th at Brodsworth Miners Welfare, Woodlands, Doncaster. The judge is Linda Matthews – through the late Brenda Jones (Zippor), Linda has a long-standing connection with the breed. She is travelling all the way from Wales to judge.

Contact Christine Marshall on 01924 463899 TODAY – tomorrow will be too late!

Old times!

Posted on by

Yesterday Midland Counties Championship Show turned into “old times”.  As the gloom of a late Autumn afternoon began there was one breed left in the echoing bottom hall of Stafford Showground as the stewards started to tidy up at the end of the day. It’s the traditional place for Glen of Imaal Terriers at that show! Jason Atkin judged and it was a double for Kathy George when he awarded Best of Breed to Romainviille Ellie and Best Dog to Romainville Billy Wizz. Best Puppy was Bregorrey Lady Belleisle
