GLEN OF IMAAL JUDGE BIRMINGHAM NATIONAL 24

First invite in 2016 for 2020 canceled by Covid so 2024 finally arrived. Thank you committee for a lovely day. I’m concerned in general that people are breeding for numbers & have taken their eye off the quality. Study the standard & improve on your stock.There’s a wise saying that champions don’t automatically produce champions. Everyone takes home a Glen but I’m trying to find which one that best meets the breed standard.

PGD (2,0)

1 Bailey Zippor Brendon 4yr old Wheaten dog maturing nicely. Good headset with distinctive Glen looks on a strong good length of neck. Gentle rising topline to good tailset. Good spring of rib. Good muscle all round & Good textures to top & undercoat. Moved soundly in all directions. RDCC

2 Lilly & Reynards Romainville Blue Indigo 2yr old Blue dog. Headpiece & neck are his forte, however I feel too high for the standard. Lacked the reach & drive of the first placed dog.
