H Glyn Jones was born in a smithy near Pwllglas in North Wales.
He bought his first dog, Glen, in 1949 and made a decision to train
him in a way that would be different from his father's methods,
in particular grooming the animal and showing affection. In 1952
Glyn won the Shepherd's Class at the Welsh National with Glen,
earning a place to represent Wales at the International Sheepdog
Trials that year.
Glyn went on to be Welsh National Champion twice with the homebred
Bwlch Taff which he reared and trained himself. He has represented
Wales in the team for
the International Sheepdog Trials fifteen times. He won the coveted International
Supreme Championship in 1973 and has been reserve champion twice. He has won
the International Farmers Championship and the 'One Man and His Dog' champion
of champions brace competition three times, and many other brace, open and
nursery championships.
His absorption with sheepdog training has taken him from his hill farm at Bodfari
in North Wales to trials and training course in Canada, the United States and
other countries. His enthusiasm is shared by his wife Beryl who has successfully
bred the Bwlch line of border collies.
