How judging the terriers on the day David!!!!!

I had 2 goin back 10 years now great dogs 2 hunt over ground but a bit big for ground work, I have tryed 2 get another 1or 2 but they seem 2 be Bedlington x and not all Bedlington, [NO TEXT TALK] keepin all Bedlington!

Again paddy I never questioned weather the dog was marked or not I seen him, but like mixedgrill said there were other dogs in the ring wit marks also, and showed themselves better on the day.....

And I never said anything about a dog showin signs of work, it was his size paddy and the way he SHOWED himself......

So if they show sign of work there workers, and no sign of work there none worker.......

There wil away be those type of people shaneg, like we were told the judges would judge in 2 there knowledge..... Mmmm

I understand what u mean, but then again everybody enters 2 win or else there be no point, like I said I have dug wit terriers for twenty odd years doin versus fox control, neither of those dogs would fit my job, or [NO TEXT TALK] hunting wit hounds! It up 2 those themselves what they keep that what makes us all different , am just sayin it a SHOW and it was said that the dogs would be judged on conformation .....

How do u know they work, was there some think I missed, was there trails there 2 test the dogs, no there wasn't, I have dug wit terriers for twenty old year and just because they look good they don't work.

Agree 100% with you mixedgrill, I was there what a joke I though a show was 2 judge a dog on conformation in the show ring, neither dog had it, what a shame, and this is sopose 2 be the top SHOW in Ireland!

Good reply thanks a lot see ur there!

Any 1 know how's judging the terriers open show on Sunday!

Thanks for all the comments guys I take them on board I have noticed that the older dog not hunting as much [BANNED TEXT] he wit the pup and has gone back a bit in huntin since the pup came along, I kennel both together maybe that needs 2 change, a friend reckons they could be feeding or each other, I don't know it all but just said I'd ask so thanks guys!

Was told that but just thought that she might learn a bit off the older dog but thanks !
