thank you hope my dog dose well

[AlbertJ 569]

I hope so too- you seem enthusiastic and I always have a lot of time for people who are passionate about their sports.

[hessy1 10]

Is there nothing the terrier men can qualify for it seems mostly catered for lucher and whippet owners alike....Albert another suggestion why not make some of your shows qualifiers for the big shows across the pond such as earth dog running dog,pride of the peaks,countrymans weekly final at Weston park as Ireland don't have many qualifiers throughout the year just a suggestion thanks.

We focused on the terriers two years ago We had a 'work in progress' this year but put it back for various reasons but plan to focus more on the terriers for next year.

 

We have had qualifiers for the CW for several years but very few people went to compete. In fact that was one of the reasons we decided to try to bring International events here.

 

We work closely with CW and would be happy to seek qualifiers if people want to use them.

 

However if you look at the prizes for Ballywalter the terriers are well looked after AND wait until you see what we have for the terriers at our 25th All Ireland Championships at Shanes!

[hessy1 10]

Thanks for replying Albert but for the sake of a few forms to fill in it should be made available that way if you win on that particular day you have a choice wether you want to go or not....I'm not saying an all expenses trip or thing just qualifiers.....that's something some of the terrier and lucher owners would be grateful for I went to the pride of peaks last year and seen various ones from Ireland so it might of interest to you in the future to make them available....cheers

great variety of classes and prizes albert .. i have booked my day off work for this ...would not miss it for the world...one question albert, i have a pup from last year she is now 17 months, she won puppy racing at camlough ,will she still qualify for the novice race....in other words does puppy racing count??

Edited April 22, 2012 by Themaverick

[AlbertJ 569]

Fiona,

 

We have had quite a few people ask us this and after a great deal of discussion amongst the group we have decided that certainly for Ballywalter we will go with the published qualifying criterion that the dog must NOT have won any race. So on that basis your dog would be ineligible.

 

BUT we are willing to listen to views on this for Shanes and Birr 2012. We certainly don't want to discourage people entering puppy races.

 

Look forward to seeing you there.

 

Albert

[dannyboi 10]

Albert is it the Novice at Shanes that Tina is qualified for from Birr last year?

[AlbertJ 569]

Yes,

 

As we changed from the initial idea of having the Novice for Shanes Castle pre qualified in order to give more people an opportunity to compete we have decided as the only 'pre qualifier' that you will go through to the second round in your classification. From then on its up to the dog.

[dannyboi 10]

Thanks Albert.
