Gleanntan has been responsibly breeding healthy and sound Skye Terriers for 54 years without interruption. Gleanntan has produced some of the breed’s greats with All-Breed Best in Show winners, Best in Specialty Show winners, and the breed’s top producers. Gleanntan Skyes have been regarded for their strong breed type and sweet temperaments.

This photo has always been one of my favorites, because it captures a Skye from Gleanntan’s second litter. It also serves as a reminder to me that, while bone and strength are essential breed characteristics, it it also important that Skyes be attractive, with quintessential “terrier expression.”

At the Montgomery County KC show on Sunday, October 6, 2024, GCHS. Gleanntan’s Sure Shot Greyjoy - “Archer” and his owner/handler, Antoinelle Vulpis made history! After going Best of Breed from the Veterans class earlier in the day under judge Mrs. Lorraine W. Bisso, Archer went BEST IN SHOW at the most prestigious terrier show in the world. The judge was renowned Cairn Terrier breeder, Mrs. Lydia Coleman Hutchinson. Archer is the Skye Terrier to go BIS in this show’s 95-year history. In going BIS, Archer defeated 1,067 terriers.

Also at Montgomery, Archer’s 7-month old granddaughter, Gleanntan Grace Filled Journey - “Angel” earned Winners Bitch for a 5-point major from the Bred by Exhibitor Puppy class, Best of Winners, Best Puppy, and Best Bred by Exhibitor in Classes under judge Mrs. Lorraine W. Bisso.

At the Hatboro Dog Club II show on Friday, October 4, 2024, Angel went Winners Bitch for a 3-point major under judge Dr. Antonio Molina from Mexico.
