paddy31 120 Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 (edited) Well here's just a few pic's from the show Edited July 27, 2011 by paddy31 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Skinny 29 Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 The show was good, prices fair and burgers were great and the free buns at the end of the day were awesome. I think the judging was good and the show seemed to be mre geared toward the terriers perhaps next year the racing will be a bit longer and more structured into over and under 23" and a pup and terrier race with heats and a final. I have to agree the lurcher judge was very thorough and my lurcher was not neat condition to be placed at a show. I would have like to had a terrier to show as the competion was high and alot of dogs there that seem to be working. Well done on a good effort on a show that was worth a 2 and half hour drive.

appleblossom 681 Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 (edited) Would agree whole heartily, Kevin M knows how to put on a good show. The weather was just right for the occassion, and the judging in both rings was superb. Both these men knew their dogs,and was firm and fair in their judgment.Terriers ,lurchers and Whippets all got a fair crack of the whip on the day. It took us approx 3 hours to get there, but it was well worth the journey.I met up with all our old friends,Hagan and his mate,Carraghasgem,and quite a few more,to many to mention. Also met and made quite a few knew ones,JF1970,and his mate,It was nice to meet you and have a wee chat,and also a few others, most of whom I see on this forum. A big congratulations to our good friend Graham Brennan from Dublins fair city, on winning the Lurcher Champion with his brilliant Lurcher.Also congratulations to the Guy who won the Terriers,sorry I dont know your name,but your terrier was tops. We were very lucky also winning the Whippet Bitch Class with our Whippet "Goldie " and the Whippet Dog class with our Whippet " Reilly ". The north of Ireland was well represnted.There were people there from Armagh/Belfast/Newtownards/Tyrone/Portadown/Down and all really enjoying themselves and going home with rosettes and trophys.A big congratulations to all the rest of the very worthy class winners.Bluebell was there snapping with her camera.You do a great job Deidre, what would we do without you.Look forward to seeing these pics up later. And thanks to you and Patsy for the lovely breakfast treat in Ardee on the journey up to the show.It was great to see so many women again at this show taking their rightful place alongside all the great huntsmen of the island of Ireland. Kevin and your committe, again many thanks for a very enjoyable day. Margaret Mc Stay Edited July 25, 2011 by appleblossom 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
