breed: Glen of Imaal
Dear Terrier World,

Just been 'tidying'out my show bag & found your flyer given to me at National Terrier.
The head study you have of a Glen on your Breeds page is appalling & unrecognisable as a Glen. Hound ears are penalised in our standard.

RE:- MR LESLIE HIGGOTT -- VETERINARY MALPRACTICE.

Dear Terrier World

I have been taking my animals to Mr Higgott for 20 years,and I wouldn't trust another vet with any of them!
He's a wonderful man and an outstanding veterinary whom I've always found to be caring, sensative,respectful, kind, humerous and expertly talented!
What he offers besides his professional practise, is a 100%
genuine service, like no other vet I have ever encountered. Having lived periodically in different parts of the country and kept animals all my life, I have experienced many other vets. None of them have possessed a scrap of the integrity and compassion of this unique man. While I empathize with Mrs Cooks loss, I find it completely unjust that one persons negative experience could erradicate a lifetime of dedicated work.

Dear Terrier World,

Sir,
To say that I was shocked at what I saw in the BBC documentary ‘Pedigree Dogs Exposed’ on Tuesday night would be an understatement.
Watching the suffering of the King Charles Spaniel and that poor Boxer dog that were filmed in the program was most distressing.
It makes one wonder just how much interest the Kennel Club takes in those particular breeds that have clearly had serious problems for a long time.
Does the Kennel Club just regard these breeds as nothing more than cash cows that will increase the millions of pounds that it already has; moneys that have been harvested from dog owners?

Dear Terrier World

Great Magazine.
Is this the six degrees of separation?
I have two AKC champion Kerries. Lilah and Inky. In turn, I chose my kennel name Kerrylink using the first two letters and the last two letters from there names. The thing is that a friend of mine was on vacation and came across a pub in Ireland
"The Danny Mann Inn" which just happens to be in county Kerry. I did drop them a line and told them the story, and that I have American mascots for them.
Irony?
Just thought I would share
