  9. Thanks Wetnoseman for reminding me about the under 21s. i only put up random results,most of the time I get all of them, but sometimes I dont. I am far from perfect, but I do my best. I know you have a hatred for me Wetnoseman, but I do not think that way about you or anybody. I was brought up in the backwoods of Monaghan, and was taught to respect everybodys point of view and to have respect for all law abiding citizens. You seem to know so much about me,why did you not come up to me yesterday and say hello. I am a forgiveing person,whos life has been dogged with sickness and tragedy. Dogs
  10. Birr Castle is a large Castle in the town of Birr Co Offaly, The Castle is the seat of the Earls of Rosse, the Seventh of whom still lives in the castle to this day. There has been a Castle on this site since 1170. From the 14th to the 17th century the O'Carroll family was in residence. After the death of Sir Charles O'Carroll, Sir Laurence Parsons was granted Birr Castle and 1,277 acres of land When Parsons took over the Castle, he engaged several masons and a large work force in the construction of a new Castle . This construction took place at the gatehouse of the site. "Flanke
  11. At most shows I have been at this year there was a vetern class. But at most of those shows veterns were not allowed in the final. A few shows did allow them. Dont know why they cannot take their place in the final. ? After all in their lifes they have proved themselves over and over again. Why should they be thrown on the scrap heap because they have got a little age on them. I dont agree with pups. At that young age they need to prove themselves both in the field and in the ring.to take their place with the greats. Have a puppy Champion ok,but no further than that. Just my opinion.
  12. Barrontop Fun Farm is located in the West of Northern Ireland and sits on Co Tyrones eastern edge of Lough Neagh,overlooked by the majestic Sperrin mountains. This open farm has a variety of animals, indoor bouncy castle and soft play area, adventure play ground, tractor and pony rides, face painting , tearooms and a gift shop. In conjunction with the North West Terrier, Lurcher and Whippet club, Barrontops owner George Mc Gerrigle hosts 3 dog shows each year at this picturesque Location. Barrontop is ideal for dog shows, because while the adults are enjoying the show, the children can enjoy
  13. A few miles outside the Village of Clough, Co Down and set in the shadow of the beautiful mountains of Mourne, was the venue for the annual Shannagh Working Terrier Club Dog Show last Saturday. The sun shone in abundance, with not a cloud in sight as we made our way through the winding roads and beautiful countryside of this wonderful home land of ours. Although the crowd was medium size in attendance, the craic and commaradrie was good. There were many of the usual show goers there, but also quite a few new people whom I had the pleasure of meeting on the day.There was a chip van and t
