We’ve been busy! Announcing Ruthie’s litter of two boys, one of each color, born on May 8. Her 2024 litter was huge (9 pups) but every size litter is a joy and this one is no exception. Ruthie is devoted to them and their weight proves it! They have been over a pound each since May 14. These sweet boys are already promised to previous Tipperary Glen owners and the wheaten boy already has his name which is “Ned”.
Oops! Ruthie did not make these pups without assistance! The sire is Cairdiulacht Daibhi MacMiolmor, thank you, Tiina!

The stats on Canine Chronicle have been updated through April 30 and F***y's recent showing in Timonium and Morgantown have earned her the following rankings:
Breed Standing: #2
All Breed Standing: #9
2026 Owner-Handler Breed Top 15: #5
These were her first shows since Montgomery 2025. I am very pleased with how well she has done, completely owner-handled for all those points. .and GCH Tipperary O'Sullivan's March has her beat in the NOHS ranking where he now holds the #2 spot with 230 points! Go Sully!

In her first weekend out as a Special since finishing her AKC championship at our National at Montgomery in October, F***y (Ch Tipperary Funny Girl F***y) went Best of Breed over Specials and professional handlers at the Sunday Baltimore County KC show. She was Select at Columbia Terrier on Friday and Best of Opposite at the Baltimore County KC Saturday show.
Thank you to judge Helene Stearns for this recognition.
F***y is by CH Tipperary Allsorts de Burgh (by Int'l CH Gleann Ho Ho Hogan) and out of Ch Tipperary Uptown Girl (by Coleraine's Hob Nobs at Caraglen).
She is the 5th generation of Tipperary Farm Glens, all owner-handled to their AKC championships.

Edit: Bee’s litter brother, Parker, earned his CGC before her. Well done to both pups and owners!
Congratulations to Tipperary Say Maybe (she goes by "Bee" to her many friends) and her owner, Liz, on completing Canine Good Citizen certification!
Liz tells me that Bee has also earned her Novice and Intermediate Trick dog titles! Bee is from the September 2024 "Neil Diamond" litter (Aidan x Ruthie). I think she may be the first pup from that litter to a title. If I missed anyone, please let me know!

Between April 17 and today, April 26, F***y and I competed at 9 conformation dog shows. We did the three shows in Timonium, MD, had two days at home to rest and then did the 6 shows in Morgantown, WV, driving the 130 round trip miles each day so I could care for the dogs and horses and Peanuts (parrot).
These were F***y’s first shows since finishing her AKC championship by going Winners Bitch at our National, Montgomery 2025.
Out of the 9 shows, she was Best of Breed 6 times, Best of Opposite once, and Select twice.
By my calculation, this completes her AKC Grand Championship, (25 points, major wins and champions defeated), but we will wait for verification from the AKC. Stay tuned for the big brag again! 🙂
She was owner-handled at all those shows and picked up four owner-handled group placements along the way, two 4th, one 3rd and one 2nd.
I am exhausted! There were many early starts (4am on two of those days) and long days.
F***y will (if verified) become my third AKC Grand Champion following in the pawprints of Daisy and Cora.
Forgive me this long brag, I’m over the moon today!!’

Congratulations to Darla and Tim and GCH Tipperary O'Sullivan's March ("Sully") on achieving NOHS Level Gold back in March!
This represents a significant dedication of time and effort to accumulate so many points in the National Owner Handler Series breed and group competitions.
Darla and Tim (and Sully and big sis, Willow) have become devoted ambassadors for Glens and are regulars at AKC conformation shows in and around their eastern Pennsylvania home base.
Heartfelt congratulations on your success and thank you for representing Glens in such a kind and professional way since early 2021.

I hope that I will be able to participate with some of my Glens.

If you have a puppy from a breeder in the City of Philadelphia, this proposal will affect your ability to get a puppy from any city breeders in the future.
It would ban ALL BREEDING for three years, whether purebreds or mixed breeds such as doodles. It will ban ALL BREEDING.
Please contact your local district legislature and tell them to vote AGAINST this bill.
