[Gone huntin' 4]

Was at the show both days and must say it was a very well organised and professionally run show. The judging standard was second to none, well done to all involved.!

 

There is a lot of work goes into organising any show, all credit to everyone who gives up their time and puts the effort in. There are ass holes on this (everyone knows who they are, no names needed) that obviously havent got a f***ing clue! And they just slate certain shows because they think it will make the show they follow look better! It's really sad on their part as shows are really organised for a bit of craic on the off season.

 

With the excetpion of one or two who might not even have been at the show, everyone seemed to have a really good day and the atmosphere was very positive all day. Well done adain lads, 1st class!!!

I had an excellent week end, the weather was brilliant, very happy with the results....love the slip lead, high quality!

 

Ian, paco the high jump winner is collie/greyhound X whippet ,he was a half brother to "turbo" ,both are out of my old bitch "sheba",out of different whippet sires, the one who i was telling you about that was suppose starred in the man about dog film, but refuse to do the high jump on the film set at Naas,co.kildare! that leaves "paco" some way related to "maverick " the over 23's winner, "turbo" being "maverick's" grand mother....there a brain teaser for you! thanks again for a wonderful day out and will see you at ballinlough im sure! well done lads!
