BILL BROWNE-COLE
How international!
Crufts 2016 was the most international yet for Glen of Imaal Terriers and this photograph really shows it. An Irish bred bitch, resident in Finland, showing at Crufts with an American handler and taking a first prize!
First in the ring meant a very early start but there we all were bright and early, the only absentee being Scott Richards due to a bereavement in the family-our condolences, and prompt at 9 in we went. Judge Bill Brown-Cole was as decisive as always so by 11.00am the cake was being placed ready for the EFG 20th but more of that tomorrow because today is all about the exhibiting Glens.
The currently all conquering Billy Wizz took the Dog CC and Best of Breed with the Bitch ticket going to Finland with Tiina Assinen in the shape of Stiubhard Cutie Pie at Gleann. The two Reserves meant one really incredible day for Kathy George as Romainville Becks Blue and Romainville Rock On Ruby gave her kennel three out of four of the top awards!
Red first prize cards were proudly born home by the owners of Brockland Brayhead Lad, Romainville Becks Blue, Amhard Justin Thyme, Gleann Cotton Cody, Romainville Billy Wizz, Golden Spurs, Jeonty Maybe Daysee, Roaminville Razzamatazz, Wickholm Gone in Sixty Seconds, Romainville Rock On Ruby and Stiubhard Cutie Pie at Gleann.
Congratulations to all and they’ll be more Crufts news and photographs tomorrow

Crufts-what an entry!
Sunday 13th March will see an amazing 42 Glen of Imaal Terriers entered for Bill Brown-Cole. This is against 30 in 2015, 26 in 2014 and 36 in 2013. The question of where have they all come from will be known pretty soon but a fairly high number of overseas people are anticipated as Crufts isn’t all that liked by some domestic enthusiasts. The more the merrier though and even though the EFG would like to think it is people coming specially to share the 20th Year Celebration Cake they do acknowledge it probably isn’t the prime reason for entry!
Glens are first in Ring 6, Hall 1 at 9.00am so it is an incredibly early start for everybody-don’t forget the comfy shoes.
