Camping?

Posted on by

The EFG Fun Day (on July 16th) always has a habit of turning into a weekend. Well Glen of Imaal Terrier people, any dog people really, like to chat, gossip and eat and, of course, supper must be taken. Suddenly it is quite late so it’s easier to stay up a bit longer than drive home or go to bed!

If you’d like to bring a tent, caravan or motorhome just let Jean (jean@e-f-g.co.uk) know and she’ll make sure there is room. Also accomadation can be arranged at local Bed & Breakfasts etc.

The 2016 World Show….and others with a BIG NEWS in there!

Posted on by

The 2016 World Show may have been in Moscow but Glen of Imaal Terrier people were there. It was a three day event for Terrier folk and a 3 day success for Gleann Bigwig & Pearytail Artless Tess as they got BOB & BOS 3 days out of 3. Meomodo Fantasterrific Arien was Junior World Winner with Pearytail Candy McCoy Best Junior on the other two days.

At Blackpool Young May Moon took Best of Breed with Bendikes Edward Bear at Squiresbeach Best Opposite. Over in America Daulton’s Wild Night of Galore took top spot in Glens at both Mid-Hudson & Shawangunk KC whilst Keadeen Blue Boy for Bluesette did “beauty & brains” par excellence with an Owner Handler Group 3 and obtained his Barn Hunt Q!

As a Breed we aren’t often awarded with Best In Show but we have a new recruit to those hallowed ranks. Kingcottage Boogie on Basil took Best Not Separately Classified, then the Terrier Group and then the ultimate, ultimate finger point for Best In Show at Carmarthen! His photograph was sent but the editorial decision has been made to go with the rosette shot as Beth’s OMG he gave it us face isn’t exactly flattering on her.

Applause for everybody and particularly Basil.

Eye Testing on July 16th.

Posted on by

All dogs (by law) must have been micro-chipped pre April this year so that isn’t a problem when booking your dog in for the eye-testing by Peter Bedford at Swineshead, Lincolnshire. What should you do though if you want to book in for litter screening? It’s no problem as there will be somebody on site qualified to micro-chip the litter. Do remember though to let Jean (jean@e-f-g.co.uk) know that the service will be required.

Let’s celebrate the (theoretical) start of summer

Posted on by

Summer officially starts in two days so let’s celebrate it with Glen of Imaal Terrier successes. At Swords Championship Show in Ireland BOB went to Abberann Phelan with Daulton’s Midnight Sky of Galore as RBOB. At the National Dog Show in Erfurt (Germany) Finn Glen Glen Limited Edition took Best of Breed and became both a VDH & Kft German Champion

The Finns are always out and about and at Rovaniemi International Show Gleann Easter Eamonn took home the senior rosette whilst at Uusikaupunki Group Show Best of Breed went to Glenrosedale Buagh Ri Arthur Milo and Glenrosedale Banrion Ros Croi was Best Opposite Sex. At Eagle International BOB was Pearytail Bonnie B Goode with BOS Pearytail Arm Candy Andy (great name). In Norway at Tromso International Gleann Ungus MacGuire was BOB with Balloo Girl Best Bitch.

Over in America Echo Hills KC of Ohio saw Emerald Isle Keely with Daulton take BOB & Owner Handler Group 4. St Petersburg Dog Fanciers Association saw Finnabair Caatskill Lightening on the Shorelyne take the big rosette. At Bryn Mawr Ber-D-Mar Sweet William O’Shea was Best of Breed whilst Daulton’s Wild Night of Galore took back to back Best of Breed and group 4 wins at Greater Clarksburg (West Virginia)

A new name to the “brains and beauty” call is Bregorrey Sovereign Storm who took his first qualifying leg in standard preferred agility and also took first in class.

Well done everybody!
