Welcome to the Glenariff website.
We have had dogs all our lives but started showing seriously in 1991 with the purchase of our first Clumber Spaniel, Sophie. The rest as they say is history and we have been invloved with showing dogs ever since.
We are passionate about our dogs that are very much a part of our families. We are proud of their achievement in the show ring and strive to breed fit healthy dogs of good temperament. We are occasional breeders and before breeding all our dog are undergo the appropriate BVA/KC recognised health tests and we carefully consider breed type and temperament as well as health before any mating.
We started with Clumber Spaniels and as we have grown so have our breeds and we now have Clumber Spaniels, Pointers and Miniature Smooth Haired Dachshunds split between our 3 family homes.
We hope you enjoy your visit around our site and enjoy reading about our dogs.
