It was good to be among the Glen folk again. After judging the breed in both Finland with 31 present & the USA Nationals with 12 champions present, it seems the UK is sadly lacking now the overall qualities of the ones I judged at those shows. We seem to have lost the consistency in type, balance & shape, short upper arms seems to be a feature which gives exaggerated rise to the topline. Width of skull needs some attention as a good width is called for.

Where are the lovely bitches that are the foundation of any breed? With the freedom of the pet passport maybe consideration should be given to trips abroad to help in the future breeding programmes. I know it is always a problem with a small gene pool but the Glens are a lovely honest breed with enthusiastic owners who give good support & atmosphere to the shows. It would be great to see a quality future generation coming along. I wish you well in your future progress with the breed.
