Another week of celebration

Posted on by

Another week and more smiling Glen of Imaal Terrier owners!

In Finland Gleann Elite Ellie took 2 BOBs ahead of her respective brothers, Gleann Expert Edvard and Gleann Eager Edgar. Over at Latvian Winners Pearytail Bonnie B Goode took BOB and became a Latvian Champion. Interestingly cats are shown at the same time-is there any other country that shows the two species together? At the Northern Terrier Club in Sweden McNally’s Gracie became a Swedish Champion.

The Glen Association Show saw Best Dog, Best Veteran and Best In Show go to Grizzlemarsh Digby with Best Bitch to Romainville Fade to Grey. The two Reserves were, respectively, Amhard Just in Thyme and Young May Moon.

Over in the States Theresa Nesbitt writes that “Abberann Torcan had a nice “weekend in Wheaton” with a Group 2 and Group 4 win.  His little sister Abberann Derbla “Ava” made a stunning American debut starting off with a major over 3 champion bitches.” Keadeen Blue Boy for Bluesette also had a great weekend with 3 Best of Breeds, 2 owner handler Group 1s and a Terrier Group 2.

Niamh (with Laura) has staked another title in the “brains” stakes when she qualified Senior in Barn Hunter for the fabulous title of RATS and Oliver earned first place and his 2nd Excellent Speed leg at the Performance Scent Dogs trial in Westborough, MA

Congratulations everybody!

Puppy Dog 2

1. Hannington’s Boudivella Oscar 9 months Wheaten Dog, well made, a little immature in head at present. Moved with drive

2. Rogers’ Kingcottage Boogie on Basil, well boned 10 months Wheaten, sound construction, good head. Ear carriage erratic and moved on three tracks.

Junior Dog 1

1. Rogers’ Gleann Dynamo Man at Jeonty (Imp), blue brindle youngster possessing good strong head, well boned throughout, impressive shoulders and forehand. Well sprung ribs. Balanced construction and moving well, despite his youth more than sufficient quality for CC& BOB.

1. George & Sullivans’s Romainville Jazz Man 2yo blue dog with good bone. Lovely dark eye and pigmentation. Mouth and hind movement less pleasing.

Limit Dog 1

1. Davis’ Donvaleset Rafferty at Viahninns, heavily boned blue dog, good strong head, good mouth, sound construction. Great character but not moving as well as he should.

Open Dog 2

1. George & Sullivan’s Ch Romainville Billy Whizz, quality heavyweight Wheaten, soundly made. Moved with drive and showed well. Carrying a little too much coat making his neck appear stuffy, which it is not. Res CC

2. Rogers’ Bregorrey Wannabe Victory by Jeonty, blue dog well- made but would have preferred a more masculine head. Not moving as well as the winner today.

Veteran Dog 1

1. Hadley’s Ch Donvaleset Rebus, quality blue dog, good bone and substance. Powerful head, strong neck, topline a little flat. Moved soundly, with enthusiasm.

Good Citizen Dog 1

2. Hannington’s Romainville Uptown Girl, blue bitch good proportions. Moved with drive and showed well, would have preferred a tad more bone.

Is it quietening down?

Not many shows to report upon but as October advances some Glen of Imaal Terrier enthusiasts are still out and about. At South Wales Kennel Association Gleann Dynamo Man at Jeonty was Best of Breed and Best Puppy (an unusual thing to write in this breed) with the Bitch CC being awarded to Romainville Fade To Grey. The two Reserves were Romainville Billy Whizz & Donvaleset Domino.

Over in America Mad River Valley KC saw Daulton’s Conan from Cill Dara take Best of Breed and Abberann Torcan kept Group Notice of Glens up with 2 back to back Group 2s at Kankakee.

Finnabair Winston O’Reilly has been increasinging to his “letter total” and can now add R.E. (Rally Excellent) after qualifying in Alabama.

Well done all!
