The Glen of Immal Terrier from Dudleston Heath<br />

Handled by dog trainer from Llangollen Beastly Thoughts Professional Dog Services wins 1st place<br />

at Crufts (the world’s biggest dog show) and then goes on to take Best Bitch award by Karen Boyce.<br />

Hi, my name’s Karen Boyce and I<br />

live in Froncysyllte, Llangollen and<br />

run Beastly Thoughts Professional<br />

Dog Services. Back in March, I was<br />

at Crufts showing Poppy, a friend’s<br />

Glen of Immal Terrier in the breed<br />

rings and we came first in the Open<br />

Bitch class and then went on to win<br />

Best Bitch.<br />

The Glen of Immal Terrier is an Irish<br />

breed originally bred for otter and<br />

badger hunting whose history goes<br />

as far back as Elizabeth the First.<br />

Poppy (or posh Kennel Club name<br />

CH SIGRID HELGA AT PANTCOTTAGE)<br />

is a three-year-old bitch and belongs<br />

to Dr Jane Alstead from Dudleston<br />

Heath, Ellesmere.<br />

She is already classed as a<br />

champion as she has won<br />

numerous awards in a very short<br />

time, but at Crufts it was brilliant<br />

to have her win more.<br />
