I think a working dog man/woman should judge not someone who keep nonpedigree racing dogs what everyone know are just small greyhounds

 

Paul,

 

Your are entitled to your opinion as I trust you believe we are ours.

 

Our fairs attract working dogs, show dogs and racing dogs. We do not have tests for working ability in terriers and lurchers - we have shows and racing. Therefore I consider it is illogical to think that someone who solely claims 'to work their dogs' should regard this as the ONLY qualification for judging a show. One could say ideally the judge should have experience of judging, been successful at shows and works their dogs, In that order NOT the other way round. Only if it was a working test would the working claim have higher priority.

 

We have a mixture of judges at our fairs. At Ballywalter we have two working judges - both experienced judges and who have had success with their dogs at shows and Rose who has had big success over a long period with her dogs both racing and showing and has judged successfully before at other events. IN my opinion all three are competent to judge the respective breeds because all would be good at judging conformation, condition, balance, type and overall soundness.

 

Now I would ask people to voice no more criticism of Rose until they actually see her judging.

 

Thanks for your input,

Guys this is what shows should be all about - a bit of fun, banter & craic - no matter who is judging or who wins! A chance to meet friends, discuss dogs see how yours gets on against others and always take the best dog home!

 

AND in these potentialy difficult times for working dogs with perhaps a real storm brewing shows such as this can be a 'showpiece' for working dogs. As Barrie Wade - and he has had massive experience says we should be sticking and working together not constantly bickering.

 

Yes of course you can bitch about the decisions a judge makes because not everyone can win every time but at least do the judge who has given up a day of their time the courtesy of waiting until you actually see what they actually do.
