Group judge and Great Pyrenees breed founder Mary Crane told Seaver Smith, as she awarded a Working Group 1st award to Glacier, " It was hard to take my eyes off this dog". Edie and Seaver considered Glacier to be a "Beautiful, balanced, moderate dog, with a lovely head and expression, and powerful, effortless movement". Glacier was a true " charismatic dog who loved to show". Glacier was shown exactly 3 years. His cumulative show record: A breed record setting 10 All Breed Best-In Shows! |

Seaver recalls Glacier's 3 year show career covering approximately 146 total shows, and being "turned down" for Best Of Breed just 8 times in his career. One of the reasons Quibbletown campaigned Glacier was to show Breed and Group judges an outstanding Great Pyrenees of proper breed type. Great Pyrenees were infrequently awarded Working Group placements, and were seldom contenders for top show honors.
Glacier was shown when the Working and Herding Groups were combined as a single 'Working Group". His outstanding breed record setting career is testimony to his outstanding attributes.
Seaver acknowledges the invaluable assistance of Frankie Glover of Barqueill, whose outstanding grooming preparation contributed to Glacier's presence in the show ring.
