  1. I don't think shows lack anything, as there is such a huge variety of them, from the small Hunt Shows, where costs have to be kept to an absolute minimum and it is a simple Lurcher & Terrier show; to the huge Game Fair Shows where they have all the bouncy castles, etc. There are some shows which are "family friendly" and some which cater simply for the dog men, I suppose all you can ask for at any show is good organisation, straight judging, and a fair crack of the whip !! Cheers.
  2. Yes Chartpolski, i've signed and put my name down as the 2nd named person and paid 75% of the rent with the greyhound owner 25%. By 'something like this' do you mean the situation or because i have been put down as a person allowed to tend the plot? I mean the situation, mate. We wouldn't allow people to share a plot, or sub-let, as it leads to this type of situation. Also, with councils insisting on 3rd party insurance, it has to be in the plot holders name, and could lead to all sorts of problems if some one sharing a plot got hurt. You should go to one of your comittee meetings and g
  3. Yeah, I buy lots of gear when I'm in the 'States, from Walmart, much cheaper than here ! Did you not have a look in Schepplers, the biggest Western Store in the world ? I spent a fortune in there ! LOL ! Cheers.
  4. Did you not sign an agreement and pay rent for your plot ?? I'm on the comittee of our allotments and something like this wouldn't be allowed to happen. If the land is owned by the council, you should pay rent and 3rd party insurance to them thru' the comittee. Cheers.
  5. The Alamo was supprising, Bird, it's smack bang in the middle of a modern shopping precinct !! But the guided tour was good, saw where Crocket, Bowie, etc, were killed, realy interesting. Cheers.
  6. Yeah Whin; it's a great place for hunters and hunting !! I've spent a bit time down there, mainly Texas, I was based in San Antonio, and had trips out around Waco and Fredriksburg, We may have some mutual aquaintances out there ! I saw the Pecos and the Rio Grande, even managed to fit in some sightseeing, The Alamo, Book Depository, Dealy Plaza, etc. Nice people, well into their huntin', shootin', fishin', It would be a great place to live and hunt, just like Oz and NZ ! Cheers.

  12. i dont know the man hope that he will do a good job.but i think they should bring in working judges they would get a better crowd. I've worked dogs for over 45 years, and judged quite a few shows... do you REALY think people know what I, or other judges have done ? I'ts a dog show ffs !! I'ts not Crufts !! Have a day out, show your dogs, and have the good grace to congratulate the winners and thank the judges !! Judging is a thankless job, but we do it because we love dogs, and there wouldn't be a show without a judge !! Cheers.

  15. FF, I don't understand your concern about the pup in the pen with the lambs ? This is the second time you've mentioned it, what do you think is wrong with sheep training/breaking a pup in this manner ??? Cheers.
  16. When they're pups, we can't wait 'till they've grown...... then we wonder where the years went !! From this to this; And from this to this; Cheers.

  19. cheers ritchie, i'm sure leigh will do a styerling job I judged the Whippets at Birr a couple of years ago, Den, was one of the best times I've had !! Fishing in the Grand Canal, drinking with the good people of Ballycommon, and meeting so many dog men and women and class dogs at the show !! A great experience ! Cheers.
  20. Yeah; who would have thought shooters had a sense of humour ?? Cheers.
  21. I haven't met the man, but I would assume that if he races Whippets with any degree of success, he knows his way around a Whippet, wether Racer, Worker or shower. Cheers.
  22. Probably not the "best", (there are any amount of very good, unsung dogs out there doing the business night in night out.), but old "Bruce the Rescue Dog" rarely dissapointed on the lamp, and was a more than handy day dog aswell; Cheers.
  23. I don't believe any dog will take 10/10 every time ! There's just to many variables. Cheers. you obviously have not been out with whin and his dogs And I never will !! Thank you very much !! LOL !! Cheers,
  24. I don't believe any dog will take 10/10 every time ! There's just to many variables. Cheers.
