Why what happend there Graham?

[lurcher330 2,301]

She was gona run a lurcher and terrier show at the show they had a few weeks back and after getting judges and all sorted she was told there could only be one class for lurchers ,and one for terriers and the entrance fee for the class was 10 euro,basically saying they weren't welcome

Just as well Fiona did not run her show at the IPBTA show as I heard it was a SH:T run show, and Fiona's charity show was great

Glad you all enjoyed it, i could not believe the how big the turn out was, its sad that the strong dogs aren't the way they used to be ,i can remember helping with the weight pulling at tandragee show, there was some unreal pulling dogs at it..i remember a staff x apbt called "2-pac" pulling 44 blocks and 5 children on a cart.!.the dogs at them shows these days wouldnt put a patch on the dogs back then, when they have there special pulling harness's and handy moved carts...sad its went the way it has

Not surprised to see they've slashed the price of entries!! think this is also the day of dessies show in laurcetown,co.armagh, not a good idea to have it on the same day as such a popular established show such as dessie's ...

Wondered when you'd surface, and still intent on trying to spoil things. As you are aware it isnt easy for Ed & Noreen Reid to organise a weekend away and owing to commitments of other people they were limited on what weekends where free. I cant see how the show in Armagh will have any effect on ours but i am sure you will go out if your way to make sure it does. This is an IKC show and will be run by Ed Reid, IPBTA are only helping out providing the venue and help for the day. As the poster clearly states this is an Intercontinental Kennel Club show why you are trying to jeopodise its sucess is beyond belief. As we have paperwork belonging to you along with your refundable membership I will forward it on to you at the Carlow address next week unless I hear otherwise. There has been alot of time and effort gone into organising a venue where we can regularly meet up with our kinds of dogs and it is a shame that there are some people close to home that are vindictive enough to want to spoil it. You of all people should understand how difficult it is trying to intergrate into the community with these dogs and be excepted as responsible owners who want to compete at events with restricted breeds like ours.

wondering when id surface...??? iv never been away...in fact iv been very busy ,incase you have been to planet mars and missed the talk about my show i was to run along side yours....!! just on the subject on how difficult it is to run a show i wish to express how difficult you made things for me, whilst you had ur head in the clouds and wishing to be the centre of attention , you completely made little of the work i had put into the organizing of the lurchers terriers and whippets at ur show, for you to send me a email to be-little the true working dog folk of ireland , to give them a couple of classes at a €10 a pop...and you refused to answer ur phone for 3 days...now you told me it was a family funeral...now im no expert but i never remember a funeral lasting 3 days.....ever!! so yes im pissed at you still, and hope the poor turn out at ur last show has learnt you a Lesson at not to be so greedy for money...! as for me spoiling things for you, i think you have done that all by urself...im sending you a private P.M and can you refund my membership fee..of €20!!. I had a few ex members of your club turn up at my show...lovely people cant see why you couldnt get on with them...they had a brillant day out and will be supporting my events in the future !!

ye cant find the strongest dog in Ireland if ppls dogs are banned from I.P.B.T.A events , so ye just choose the dogs ye want to be in this contest ,

 

cant wait to go to your next event Fiona as the last one was great ,

funny enough you should say that...the ex ipbta club members that turned up at my show happen to be the most successful at last years events! so i wonder if thats the reason they got barred...mmmm if yea can't beat 'em bar them...!!

[winner69 25]

i heard the two girls that run the show got first and second with there dogs in the showing,is that true?that's crazy.why would anyone pay €10 to enter a dog when the winners are already picked out.if your running a show ye cant show ur own dogs!

[Pog Mo Thoin 7]

its only a FIVER to loose now ,

[paulcreed78 10]

I know its IKC show and Ed is a gentleman ,but its being organized by the pit bull queen and I heard if you don't go her rules out you go... the club is shrinking every week from what Im told, soon there will just be the two of them
