Drumnagally Bess

Lovely yellow bitch, she was my first labrador and all I wanted at the time was a good shooting dog Bess proved very easy trained, fast and cleaver, excellent in water, and my idea of a brillant shooting dog. I entered her in a working test, and then trails, this was the start of my carear in labradors. Bess was a brillant dog for me to start with, and I think she knew more than me at times. I won 34 awards, 12 seconds and placed 4th in the Irish Championship. I decided to breed bess and wanted an affix and came up with Glenbriar. I used FTCH Meadowbrake widgeon who won the Irish Championship, out of this litter, came my first FTCH Glenbriar Sweep.

FTCH Glenbriar Sweep.

Sweep was the first champion I made up her sire FTCH Meadowbrae Widgeon who won the Irish Championship, Dam, my first labrador, Ftws Drumnagally Bess. Sweep in my mind was the best handling lab I ever owned, her temperament was excellent. I ran her for three seasons, without being out of the first four. She was very good in working tests. Proberly her best year was when she was 1st in both the N.Ireland and Southern Ireland game fairs and 3rd at the CLA

FTCH Glenbriar Skippy.

Sire Int FTCH Leacross Rincals Dam FTCH Glenbriar Sweep Skippy was in no doubt the most styish dog I have ever bred and owned she had no weakness. Brillant in cover and water, an absolute joy to watch in the open, and the good thing about her was, although she was so fast, she was also an excellent game finder. Skippy had bags of energy, and her tail never stopped. Her first season trialing she won two novices, one under English KC. The other Irish KC. And later that year she won an open. The following year I made her up to FTCH, and won the Irish Championship with her. Skippy also proved to be an excellent mother, and produced some brillant puppies who've became FTCH's Skippy's class, beautiful nature, and excellent working skills, have been passed down to her grandchildern and GT Grandchildern who I own and train today.


FTCH Glenbriar Dare.

Sire FTW Glenbriar Trouper, Dam FTCH Glenbriar Sweep. Dare was the second Glenbriar Labrador I made up to Ftch. He was a very easy dog to handle, very much like his mother sweep, his temperment in drive was excellent, and a good game finder. He was on the winning Irish Team at both the CLA, and scone palace scottish game fair. In his first year of trailing he won a novice and two open trails.





FTCH Glenbriar Quest

A very strong large bitch who's game finding was excellent, she loved cover and was one of those dogs, if you put her into a wood, she wouldn't come out untill she had found what ever you had sent her in for. She was also a very strong bitch in water.
Her sire knighthawk of glenbriar, who I never ran, was line bred palgrave. Her Dam, was FTCH Glenbriar Skippy, who won the Irish Championship with. Quest produced some brillant puppies, on a mating to FTCH Pocklea Remus she produced 3 FTCHS.
