lurcher show rip off

[Guest trill]

having only been to a handfull of shows ,i just cannot work out why a whippetx greyhound,or saluki x whippet,etc etc allways wins?a mate attended the midland and said there was a superb bullx that was robbed over to a dog of the above cross.is that a lurcher,i allways understood 2 running dogs crossed is a longdog and not a lurcher and a longdog does look better than a lurcher so its unfair? i dont go to shows much ,cause i think looks are unimportant if its a good worker,and you allways get the to serious rosette gatherers.also they enter them in the racing which is wrong ? am i correct.

 

the first thing i learned regarding lurcher shows was not to take them serious. i took my old deerhound cross a few times and won a few rosettes but quickly found that it was all the same dogs show after show

I enjoy shows and its a chance to see different dogs, have a natter and buy the odd bit of gear I've attend a few shows over the years and my first terrier often won the racing but she never went in the show ring as it wasn't for me, my current bitch is 9 and has been entered less than half a dozen times. This was when she was a pup and more recently in the veterans class and then only because my three year old likes the rosettes and she is her favourite dog.

 

 

I feel a plonker in the ring
