Tibetan Terrier Dog wins Best in Show at Crufts 2007 Dogshow
The champagne glasses were still clinking as a happy band of revellers celebrated the tremendous victory of this year's Crufts Best in show winner Ch/Am Ch Araki Fabulous Willy, marking the culmination of a truly breathtaking show career for one truly remarkable dog.
Just seven hours earlier, watched by a capacity crowd of 6,600, Best in show judge Zena Thorn-Andrews had marched purposefully across the green carpet in the new Main Arena and pointed towards Tibetan Terrier 'Willy', handled to perfection throughout that day by Californian Larry Cornelius.
Five year-old 'Willy' was bred by consummate professional Ken Sinclair and was jointly owned by Neil Smith and John Shaw from Brockworth, Gloucestershire.
Earlier that afternoon, Utility group Judge Albert White selected Willy as his pick, a decision vindicated later by Zena Thorn-Andrews and one immensely popular with the watching capacity crowd - even those outside of the Utility group breeds.
'Let's just say it's been quite an experience,' breeder Ken Sinclair told OUR DOGS. 'Willie is a truly unique dog, a once-in-a-lifetime dog. He was handled brilliantly by Larry at Crufts, but he is happy to be handled by other people too - he's had four different handlers, including myself, when he went Best in show at Birmingham, and he never shows at anything but his best.'
Legacy
Certainly Willy has an impressive track record, which has already cemented his legacy within the breed and also in the wider world of show dogs. As well as taking five Best in shows (including Crufts), he has attained 16 Group wins, which included Group 1 at Crufts in 2004, Group 3 in 2006 ('he was freaked out by the cameras on that occasion,' says his breeder Ken Sinclair) and Group 1, of course, in 2007. He was the Top Sire in the breed in 2006 and is the greatest Tibetan Terrier winner of all time with no fewer than 45 CCs to his name.
Ken is himself the top Tibetan Terrier breeder of all time, having bred over 100 champions worldwide; at least 50 in the UK.
Willy 'emigrated' to the United States last summer shortly after taking Reserve BIS at East of England Championship show. Soon thereafter, he went on to take Best in show at his first American All-Breed Championship show and then added another four Championship show BIS wins to his roster. He had been booked in for this year's Westminster show but in the event, he wasn't shown and returned to the UK to compete in Crufts.
So what next for Willie?
'Retirement!' laughs Ken. 'And by that, I mean retirement for Willy, not for me, just in case anyone gets the wrong idea! How can you top all of that? How can you top Crufts? We are all just so proud of him. He's a 10th generation Araki dog and his close relatives are already making their mark in the breed. He'll not be at public stud though - he never has been. Willie is only available to Araki bloodlines.'
So the obvious question: how had Ken felt on Sunday night, sitting in the audience, watching Willie go through his paces with the six other Group winners? Had he felt that Willie was 'in the running'?
'There were a couple of dogs there that I knew were performing well,' says Ken, 'particularly the Wire Fox Terrier (Ch Travella Show Stopper). Funnily enough, I'd given him a Reserve Best in show myself only recently when I judged him, so I knew he was one to watch. Zena Thorn-Andrews had given Willie his first ever CC and Group, so I'm bound to say she has a good eye! When she pulled him out as Best in show I was ecstatic - it was the crowning moment of 30 years of breeding. We all just went wild!
'Needless to say, we celebrated somewhat afterwards at the Hilton. There were quite a group of us; Ken, John, Larry, Marcello, Willie's groomer, Neil, Patsy Hollins and your MD Vince Hogan!'
(Here OUR DOGS would like to point out that Vince stuck to orange juice all evening, ever the consummate professional!)
But just when Ken thought his happiness couldn't be greater, there was one more surprise in store: John and Neil made a present of Willy to Ken! 'I couldn't speak, I was so emotional,' says Ken. 'They said to me that there was nothing else this marvellous dog could do, so he was mine again - he was coming home to live with me. Well - after he'd been on Blue Peter and Richard & Judy, of course.'
And even there, Willy has left his mark - one of Richard Madeley's own Tibetan Terriers is an Araki dog - Willy's uncle in fact, whilst Willy himself is Grandfather to Crufts presenter Clare Balding's Tibetan.
A star to the stars then... It's obvious that Willy is a star through and through. In fact... he's Simply Fabulous!

Glen of Imaal Terrier Dog Breed Description, History, and Temperament
Description: The Glen of Imall Terrier is a small-medium sized dog that is a sturdy little thing, they have many of the usual terrier characteristics and have a lively and happy expression about themselves. They weigh around 35 pounds and should stand around 14 inches tall at the withers.
They have a double coat that should be wheaten in colour or brindle, their undercoat should be soft whereas their outer coat should be harsh to the touch. They have a relatively large head, with ears that are wide set and half pricked. They have round dark eyes that have a loving expression.
History: The origins of the Glen of Imaal Terrier dog are not known, however what is known is that they are from Ireland, and that they received their name from the Glen of Imall in County Wicklow. They are thought to be an ancient breed, but due to their isolation they are an almost unknown breed outside of the area they come from. They are fantastic hunters of fox, badgers and rat.
They were not recognized by the AKC until 2004 and to this day still remain a rare breed though attempts are being made to amend this. Even in Ireland they were not first publicly presented until 1933. In recent years they have become more companion pets, rather than working dogs.
Temperament: The Glen of Imall Terrier is a lively dog that is full of sprit and they can be very devoted. They can however suffer from 'small dog syndrome' so they need an owner who can stop any negative behaviour in a calm manner as they do not respond well to harsh discipline.

Fox Terrier (Toy)
Image : http://www.flickr.com
Unlike the Smooth and Wire Fox Terriers, the breed did not originate in England. This is, instead, a recently developed American breed. Smooth Fox Terriers were crossed with several toy breeds, including Chihuahuas, Italian Greyhounds, Miniature Pinschers, and perhaps even Manchester Terriers. The resulting dogs are both true terriers (with strength, stamina, and gameness) and true toys (with a more livable disposition).
They stand 8.5 to 11.5 inches tall with weight proportionate to height. They are small yet well-balanced and strong. The eyes are dark and round, and the ears are upright and large, never dropped. The tail is docked. The coat is smooth, fine, and predominantly white with patches of color. Brush weekly with a soft bristle brush or rubber curry comb.
This is an active dog who is playful and animated, yet not as busy or intense as the smooth and Wire Fox Terriers. Fox Terriers enjoy daily walks and are also suited to many dog sports, including agility, fly ball, obedience, and terrier-go-to-ground competitions. They are active enough to get into trouble if left alone for too many hours.
Early socialization is important. Although normally outgoing and friendly, some Toy Fox Terriers can be reserved and wary of strangers, and early socialization can help build their confidence. Training should begin early, too, as this is an intelligent breed. Training should be fun and not too repetitive, yet firm and structured. The breed really enjoys mental challenges, so training should continue into adulthood. Teach the dog hand signals, scent discrimination, and trick training. As with some other toys, house training can sometimes become a challenge.
This breed can be a good family dog as long as the children are not too rough with them. The Fox Terrier can be a great companion for an active senior citizen. Health concerns include knee problems and allergies.
Registries: AKC, CKC,UKC
Occupation: Companion
Size: 8.5 to 11.5 inches tall; weight proportionate to height
Longevity: 13 to 14 years
Exercise: Active ad playful
Training: Moderate
Grooming: Easy

Terrier Dog Breeds: The Top Ten Dog In This Group
Image : http://www.flickr.com
The Terrier Group includes those small but lively terrier breeds that were developed (mainly in Great Britain) to hunt small burrowing animals such as badgers, foxes, otters, rabbits and rats. The terrier often had to follow the prey underground and therefore, except for the Bull and Airedale Terriers, most terriers are small and stocky with short legs. These are feisty and energetic dogs that have little tolerance for other animals including other dogs. Of course these small dog breeds have been domesticated and make good pets but they are still fairly active and require firm handling. Many breeds like the Airedale, Bull, Fox and the Parson (Jack) Russell Terriers do best with experienced owners. The top 10 most popular terrier breeds in the US according to the American Kennel Club 2005 registrations are discussed below and their registration rank is included in brackets. It is interesting to note that the top six most popular terriers are all low-shedding dog breeds that are said to be hypoallergenic when properly groomed.
1. Miniature Schnauzer
Minis (#10) are lively, pleasant and playful with expressive personalities. These loyal and devoted small dogs want to be totally involved in all family activities and love to go for walks. Most Minis are good with children but are a little too small to be a toddler's pet. They will generally get along fine with other family pets although they are terriers and can be feisty toward other dogs. Early socialization and obedience training will help with controlling excessive barking and a reluctance to walk on leash. This breed can be taught fairly easily and can even excel at advanced obedience competitions.
2. West Highland White Terrier
The West Highland White (#32) is cheerful, bold, assertive, courageous, inquisitive and has a great deal of personality. This small white dog needs to get involved in everything that is happening in the home. The Westie is easier to handle and friendlier than many other terriers but still needs his daily walks and play sessions. Westies will try and dominate dogs of the same sex but otherwise get along better with other dogs and cats than most terriers. The Westie still has its hunting prey drive and shouldn't be let off leash except in a fenced enclosed area. The Westie is very possessive of its toys and food and doesn't like to be handled by young children.
3. Scottish Terrier
The Scottie (#40) is a small dog breed with a jaunty and distinctive appearance. The Scottie is brave, alert, proud, confident, loyal and dignified. While friendly and playful as puppies, the mature Scottish Terrier can be stubborn at times. Therefore it is important to start socializing and obedience training http://www.dog-breed-facts.com/articles/training-your-puppy.html> the Scottie while it is a puppy and continue through adolescence. Scotties love to play, so make sure you add play and rewards to your training. The Scottish Terrier does best with older children.
4. Cairn Terrier
The Cairn Terrier (#41) is one of the smallest of the working terrier dog breeds. These terriers are bold, spirited and inquisitive but are also somewhat independent-minded. The Cairn is intelligent, affectionate and eager to please its master. This breed is easily trained and likes to do tricks although they may be the tricks that he - not you - wants to do. Cairns do well with older children and love to play games. These Terriers demand lots of attention but will provide you with hours of entertainment in return.
5. Airedale Terrier
The medium-sized Airedale Terrier (#52) is larger than most Terriers and has an even temperament and sweet disposition, although some Airedales can get into fights with other dogs. This terrier is dignified, patient, loyal and intelligent and makes a great companion dog that loves to play with children. The Airedale should be supervised with young children as it may be too boisterous for them. Airedales can be trained to a high level as anything from a guard dog or watchdog to a seeing-eye dog. Airedale puppies are playful and exuberant and obedience training should be started early and re-enforced through adulthood by a knowledgeable owner.
6. Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier
The Wheaten Terrier (#59) is cheerful, active, busy, playful and affectionate. The Wheaten is independent and self confident but also fairly intelligent and eager to learn. Wheaten puppies should be socialized early with children, other dogs and strangers. The breed is fairly easy to train if you can get their attention. Wheatens get along fine with older children but can be too playful and assertive with young children. Wheatens are much more sociable than most terriers but will still need obedience training to control their active and assertive nature.
7. Bull Terrier
The Bull Terrier (#62) or 'Bullie' is a lively and powerful dog. Bull Terriers are fearless, assertive, comical and mischievous. This large breed is loyal, affectionate and loving and can make a good family pet. Bullies are probably too exuberant for small children but will do fine with considerate older children. Bull Terriers need lots of attention and may not be the best choice for the city unless they are involved in lots of family activities. These dogs can be quite strong willed and are difficult to train. The breed needs early socialization when they are puppies and on-going obedience training. Male Bullies, especially those which haven't been neutered, can be extremely aggressive with other male dogs and even other pets.
8. American Staffordshire Terrier
The American Staffordshire (#63) is usually calm and friendly with an air of self confidence; this powerful medium-sized breed is active, playful, affectionate and relatively easy to train. The Am Staff loves playing with older children but is too boisterous for young children. However this dog is fearless and is not to be trusted around cats or other dogs. The Am Staff has powerful jaws and will destroy any toys you give it to chew. This breed needs early socialization to other dogs and strangers and on-going obedience training. The Am Staff is the largest of the three breeds generally referred to as Pit Bulls. The other two are the American Pit Bull Terrier which is not registered with the American Kennel Club (AKC) and the Staffordshire Bull Terrier which is registered with the AKC. In the past, these breeds were all bred to be fighting dogs. Now that this activity is illegal, these pit bull breeds have an undeserved reputation for fighting. This is a dog for an experienced owner and prospective buyers should also check their local area bylaws and also their household insurance to see if there is any restriction on this breed of dog.
9. Parson Russell Terrier
The small-sized Jack Russell Terrier (#72) is known as the Parson Russell Terrier in the U.S. The Parson (Jack) Russell is the most energetic, fearless and athletic of all the terrier dog breeds. The Parson Russell demands full participation in the family activities with lots of physical and mental challenges. If the Jack Russell gets too little exercise and companionship, then this cheerful little dog will get bored and become destructive. The Parson Russell can be very aggressive towards strange dogs and even other family dogs. The Parson (Jack) Russell needs a lot of early socialization while a puppy and adolescent to curb aggressive behavior. These strong-willed Terriers need lots of early and on-going obedience training to ensure the owner and not the dog is in charge. The Parson Russell gets along well with older children - especially those that will play ball or Frisbee with him.
10. White Fox Terrier
The small-sized Wire Fox Terriers (#76) are one of the liveliest and most energetic of all the terrier breeds. The two varieties, the Wire haired and the Smooth, differ only in coat type. These Terriers are very intelligent, curious, cheerful and love their families. The breed has so much energy that it will play and chase a ball or Frisbee for hours on end. Fox Terriers make great playmates for older children but still retain their hunting instincts and shouldn't be left alone with small pets. These Terriers should be kept on their leashes when being walked. The breed has a stubborn streak and socialization and training should be started when they are puppies and continued into adulthood.

How to Train a Lakeland Terrier Puppy - Using the Right Mindset When Training Your New Terrier!
Image : http://www.flickr.com
Lakeland Terrier's are a wonderful breed and adapt easily to training. This article will help you get into the right mindset to train your Lakeland Terrier puppy!
If you want to be a strong animal trainer, you have to keep one thing in mind. Don't let the dog sense fear or weakness. In the wild, canines are part of social packs, and each pack has an alpha leader. If you want to be successful as a dog trainer, you need to be the alpha leader and make sure the dog knows it. This doesn't mean being cruel, rather it means you have to be who the dog looks for when they need guidance. Once you win their confidence and gain their respect, you will be able to successfully begin training.
Winning their confidence and respect is the first step. Once they have accepted you as the pack leader, you need to continue to interact with the dog in a positive way. You still have to maintain the pack hierarchy and not let the dog feel they are your equal. Through this type of play, you can strengthen the roles each of you have in the pack, and establish trust. When these things are all in place, training will be fast and relatively easy.
Once you have worked hard to foster the pack hierarchy and the trust and respect of the dog, you can't let yourself lose that position. You need to make sure the lines of what acceptable behavior is and what is not. You can still shower your Lakeland Terrier with affection, it is just important to not let them establish what the boundaries will be. If that happens, you will lose the alpha status, and the dog will become the one in control.
You are actually doing the dog more good than you realize. These limits are of the utmost importance to pack animals. They need to know where their place is in the pack, and what the pack deems acceptable behavior. Your Lakeland Terrier wants this leadership. It is biologically programmed into him or her. These roles are clearly defined and are absolutely the key to pack survival. By providing the leadership, you will be able to guide your dog to understand what is acceptable and what is not.
Good luck training your new Lakeland Terrier puppy!
Start training your Lakeland Terrier quickly and easily...
