Within this beautiful County traditionally rural and near the M9 motorway lies the village of Ballinabrannagh. This was the venue for The Mc Grath Racing Club Dog Show and Race Day Sunday 31stTH August 25. As it was 5 Nations day,Ballinabrannagh was buzzing with excitement. It was here in the late summer weather sporting enthusiasts from north and south
  7. THE GLENSHANE WORKING DOG CHARITY SHOW AND RACEDAY SUNDAY 24th AUGUST 25 ( In Aid of The Fort Centre RDA Maghera ) Maghera is a small town at the foot of the Glenshane Pass and lends itself to some of the North coasts most beautiful panoramic views. Situated 2 miles outside Maghera is Tobermore Golf Club. This was the venue for The Glenshane Charity Working Dog Show and Raceday Sunday 24th August 25. And what a day and venue that was. Safe to say this was one of the best venues I have been to this year. The grass was immaculately cut, rings well spaced out and a well groomed race

  9. The Tally Ho Working Dog Show Saturday 16th August 2025 As I looked out the window early Saturday morning the sun was just breaking through the trees, with a small welcoming breeze filtering over the dog pens. Barking out at us was the usual Whippet chorus signalling the day had arrived for the Tally Ho Working Dog Show and Raceday at Nutts Corner. And what a show that was. I firmly believe nature plays a big part in telling our faithful Canine friends the end of the showing season is on the horizon, and their weekly excursions to the show ring and race track is coming to an end.
  10. Please note the IWTF Show advertised for this Sunday 10th August at Slane was cancelled a month ago , but will be back again in 2026. Margaret McStay
  11. The Burren Charity Working Dog Show and Raceday Saturday 26th July 25 From the Pen of Margaret Mc Stay As the clock on the wall jingled out its usual dulcet tones on Saturday morning, it signalled the start of a new day for us and another great sporting event on our country sports calendar. With Mrs Sat Nav being our guiding light along the way, and the beautiful Mourne Mountains following us enroute, very soon The Burren came into view and the dog show venue for the day. And what a venue that was. It was evident the amount of hard work the

This was a new venue for the “Keep er Lit” Dog show and Race day and the ideal spot for last Sundays Show. From early morning, cars and trailers arrived from North and South of the border.

They certainly were not disappointed at the Keep er Li
