Thanks for sending on another of Lucy’s delightful and endearing newsletters! Her descriptive abilities are so well-honed that I feel as if I am back in England and seeing all the sights with my own eyes. Her characterization of the Dachshund sounds about right – they are a determined lot whether miniature or standard!

When I was in England in July I was so grateful to Ann Bradley, the extremely kind and competent Secretary of the ITA, for helping me sort out all the details of overseas membership. I was so pleased to receive the ITA Yearbook and the very classy membership pin! Ann was such a warm and knowledgeable ambassador for the breed and for the Irish Terrier Association and really made me feel very welcomed as a member!
