thought the whole day was shit can't say i was cheated on anything because all i took was a terrier never entered him in anything but afew mates that had good working lurchers in the shows where abit

i tink that the prize money is the problem,people /trainers tat cant win feck all in greyhound racing decide cheat at lurchers and whippets because of the prize money. only for my kids taking a mad interest in the racing i wouldnt care, i was going to get a whippet for a bit of sport for the summer and sumthing tat would stick a nite or two lampin.but whats the point kids always want to win, and cheating is against my morals

FFS these game fairs accommodate all field sports ,but after and sometimes even before the event the only people that complain are lurcher and terrier folk,the rest of the field sport folk must think we are a bunch of wingding ole ones along with all the anti groups that can see if we cant get on with each other how will we stand together keep our sport safe from the groups doing their best to stop it.

 

If shows and racing are so important get out off lurchers and gets pugs for showing or greyhounds for racing,and leave the rest that just want to have a bit of crack and friendly competition over the summer at the lurcher and terrier shows

Some shows require you to Protest at the time of the race to the stewards/organisers with a £20 deposit refundable if the protest is upheld this cuts out the bad losers from the serious complaint. Again how long do you think show organisers are going to put up with this prolonged rubbish after a show.

never mind kristy harper,the young lady bought what she thought was a whippet and now because shes wiping everyones arse they excuse her of alsorts,because the dog is a rocket or just well trained.

 

what about the two co.armagh sisters with the litter of unmarked greyhounds out of the greyhound on the side of there trailer.her story is that the two pups, owned by the older sister of the two has ,are out of non-peds in england :tongue2: :tongue2: lolololol

 

if this is true why arent they dew-clawed,and she has conveniently forgotten who breed them and there breeding, she lifted her prize without a bother on her, big smile for cheating

 

it will be interesting to find out what there mother is when they go to race the litter mates around drumbo.

the others they disided to register.theyve a yard full of unmarked greyhound

 

:angel: :angel: ,think il get in touch with the greyhound club here as what theyre doing is against there rules,to see what they have to say.

 

these are the two girls that are informing on the kristys whippet,sorry girls, you shouldnt throw stones if you live in a glass house :icon_redface: :icon_redface:

Thats lovely, I come home from a days work to switch on the computer to this crap again. I have had it before about my dog. And yet another dig on here.I come home to a pm from the above to say she or he will relieve my dogs true breeding OMG catch yourself on, this is why i have taken the decision to clear my dogs name(Maverick). and i want all the mouth pieces present when i am taking him for this DNA test for the sake of all the bitching jinny's on here who can't win a race and who are simply not women or man enough to put there name to would they are implying .Im to set a date for the test and any person on here that wants to be present our welcome.That should shut you all up.....

and another thing go and get a life and a job you pack of lazy so and so's, it's me paying for your internet!

I thought I had finished on this thread but fair points Pigsy. You and I often disagree but I enjoy our debates!

 

As you will know elsewhere I have asked Kirsty publicly twice to put up the breeder and the breeding of the dog. If I don't get an answer within the next week I will assume that this information will not be made available. To date all we have is a vague assertion that it was bred by someone in Greysteel.

 

I am meeting with the Glenbank club today to discuss these matters. BUT since I made the decision to let it run on Sunday along with two other unegistered dogs I personally will make the decision whether it can run as a whippet at Shanes. I did question its legitimacy as a whippet but was told it had been passed by the Sporting Whippet Club and a top judge of whippets. If the matter is not cleared up Kirsty's dog will be allowed to run at Shanes BUT only in the under 21 class.

 

For 2013 - it is likely that whippet racing will be restricted to KC registered whippets only.

 

I did not see the incident with the black dog but I will be discussing with Matt about the problem about persistent offenders. Such barging can be accidental as can be seen at greyhound raciing daily but there is a case for disqualifying persistent offenders.

 

On the alleged greyhound front - this is difficult. a 15/16 grey hound is eligible and full is not. Without knowing the breeding it is impossible for anyone to distinguish. Again we will look at taking an objection but please don't do so on the basis of rumour.

 

We have introduced the new Novice Directors Challenge and if we decide to continue to support the terriers & lurchers into 2013 we will have it on a level with the Master Mc Grath. So within this everyone has a chance of a good prize.

Albert regarding the incident of bumping you did nt see, ask Martin T how many times a greyhound can turn its head to fight another runner? or what happens to a bumper in the straight?(collisions on bends are different) its called interfering and the greyhounds card is marked and cant run again until its been trialled without turning its head or bumping :thumbs:

As for asking Kirsty her dogs breeding :hmm: I dont recall last years mm winner telling how/who bred that and there was plenty that asked :yes:

Y.I.S Leeview

 

LV - You are interfering again in something that does not concern you as you were not there nor apparently have you ever been to any of our events. Yet all we get from you is a torrent of criticism. I asked Kirsty the breeding because I was the one that made the decision to allow her to run.

 

Albertj

interferring by giving common sense suggestions but you being a biologist seem to think that qualifies you to run races as you please :whistling:

Sooner or later a dog will end up breaking its leg by being bumped/battered by another dog :yes: not a pretty sight in front of the public guarantee you wont forget the scream when it happens :hmm: , will you pick up the vets bill or the club taking the entries?

As for not being allowed to criticise because I was nt there or ever been to one of your events absolutely poppycocks :hmm: I've never judged eggs but can tell a bad one when I see one :thumbs:

If I was unkind I could say you might see one most days by looking in the mirror!

 

But you really are some guy if you tell a bad egg by just looking at it - xray vision what! That makes as much sense as most of what you come out with.

 

Once again you try to criticise something from 'the other side of the pond'. You were not there, you did not see what happened. You did not see which dogs were bumped and which dogs did the bumping, or how serious the bumping was. I certainly don't base opinions or give advice or offer criticism on hearsay. How is that talking sense?

 

You claim some kudos by what appears a loose greyhound connection - do you not see bumping in greyhound races - certainly I have seen bumping, pile ups and aggression.

 

I don't run races whatever way I want - I don't run races period - the organising club does. And as for me being a biologist what on earth has that got to do with anything. I think it will have to be back to the Albertj v Leeview thread as in my opinion you appear to be a pollutant on threads relating to our events.

No sense of smell

 

Once again you try to criticise something from 'the other side of the pond'. racing is racing wherever its runYou were not there, you did not see what happened. Correct I was nt there but bumping is bumping or were the dogs "just playing" You did not see which dogs were bumped and which dogs did the bumping, or how serious the bumping was. I certainly don't base opinions or give advice or offer criticism on hearsay. How is that talking sense? Im talking from experience your not

 

You claim some kudos by what appears a loose greyhound connection :thumbs:if only you knew- do you not see bumping in greyhound races - certainly I have seen bumping, pile ups and aggression.YES you do and I told you what that entails on the or in the field the offending dog gets warned off until such a time that it is trialled to satify the stewards it wont happen again :yes:

 

I don't run races whatever way I want - I don't run races period - the organising club does I thought you made a decission on wether a dog could run or not :hmm: and the organising club picked the judges BUT had to run them past you to decide if they were OK :yes: . And as for me being a biologist what on earth has that got to do with anything Absolutely nothing BUT you bring it into your posts all the time along with golden retrievers :boogy: . I think it will have to be back to the Albertj v Leeview thread as in my opinion you appear to be a pollutant on threads relating to our events.You do that Aj I'll give you that you won on that thread because I did nt post on it :thumbs: I stayed on topic

thanks albert for agreeing with me to let me have the rerun but when i went back to see the two matts they were having none of it.so i had them two against me plus the other people that were to be in the final,so that was eight people against me.i felt sorry for the other man that was in that same heat that had drove from drogeda with his two small sons to race.i know albert there is bumping in greyhound racing,maybe mistaken bumping at the traps or worse still at the bends as i have raced greyhounds myself of and on for many years.these lurcher that are bumping at are meetings its not actual mistaken bumping,that is what you call bulldozing they are just hell bent on driving into other dogs and wrecking the whole race,they are not chasing the drag at all.yet the people who own them keep entering them into the races.im not talking about any one dog in particular but i have watched the people that own them entering them week after week just to cause more disasters.somtimes i wonder whats in there head.i know as well you are open to suggestion,well i think you should bring the roscrea team up and let them run the racing at ballywalter and shanes castle.i was at there meeting in roscrea and shane lee has got everything down to a tee.also the dunsilly whippet club could run there whippet race and let matt lee and his son be in charge of the show rings.i dont often come on here but thought i need to voice my opinion.but anyone on here with any sense will know where im coming from.but i know for one sure thing prize money or no money i wont be running any of my dogs at ballywalter or shanes castle again.im not writeing this post to get at you albert because you have always been decent with me,but i do hope you will consider my point and have a look into with the rest of the crewe.

like horses having to put blinkers on i think that the dogs are ungenuine and not concentrating on the task in hand , therefore , in my opinion , should not be allowed to race , so as to spoil the racing ---open to a slagging i know , but who cares it's only my opinion -----den

 

p.s----- looking forward to the racing at shanes, ronnie fit at the moment so fingers crossed

      The Burren Charity Working Dog Show and Raceday Saturday 26th July 25   From the Pen of Margaret Mc Stay   As the clock on the wall jingled out its usual dulcet tones on Saturday morning, it signalled the start of a new day for us and another great sporting event on our country sports calendar. With Mrs Sat Nav being our guiding light along the way, and the beautiful Mourne Mountains following us enroute, very soon The Burren came into view and the dog show venue for the day. And what a venue that was. It was evident the amount of hard work the Burren Team had put into this show ground. It was in tiptop condition with six toilets on site, rings well spaced out and a superb racetrack with a very steep hill. And what a tester for our dogs this track was. With the sun shining down all day in abundance and a very large gathering of canine folk from North and South of the border, the atmosphere was electric. I can honestly say this was the biggest show I have been at this year and all for a great charity. As the day progressed I took a stroll around the many stands dotted around the field. I stopped of at Mick Mc Cormacks stand. Mick and Lorna are always so welcoming and have a stand full of everything for the hunting fraternity. Next door was flight & bite Outdoor Clothing & Footwear. I had a great we chat with owner Richard Caddell. Richard and I go back a very long time from our times at The Great Games Fairs of Ireland at Shanes Castle. I think most of our outdoor gear for dog shows were bought of this man over the years. You would not go hungry at this show. Burgers/Drinks/ Snacks/Teas and coffee were all available on site. The children had a field day with a child handling class. Every child got a medal and a bag full of goodies. With their barking and crooning canine friends by their sides, these little people were in their happy place and full of winning spirit As the day progressed into evening, it was raffle time and then the excitement began. It is unbelievable the buzz of excitement the raffle generates to the people around the ring. There were some great items in the raffle, and some very happy campers going home with great prizes The Racing started at approximately 12 noon followed by Showing. Here are the Racing and Showing Results: ***Racing Results*** Pups Kieran with Jimmy Kirsty with Sika Whippet James Mullen with Junior James Mullen with Toby Under 21s Lynzi Gardiner Magill with Bill Rose Mc Coy with Arlo Under 22s Lynzi Gardiner Magill with Venus Rose Mc Coy with Texas Under 23 elite Lynzi Gardiner Magill with Lady Lynzi Gardiner Magill with Cody Under 23s traditional lurcher Mj with Lila Under 24 smooth Lynzi Gardiner Magill with Jack Rose Mc Coy with Prada Under 24 hairy Harry Roche with Sula Joyce Scott with Susan Master McGrath Jake with Storm Joyce Scott with Guss Mick the Miller Jed Donagh with Chaz Lynzi Gardiner Magill with Sugar Light bull Yapper Hayes with Lady Leigh Thompson with Roxy Heavy bull Joyce Scott with Mable Leigh Thompson with King Terrier Matthew Wisdom with Rocco Elaine with Ruby Greyhounds Barry Holland with Hunter ***Showing Results*** Overall Champion Pup Clodagh Gentle with Dash Overall Champion Whippet James Mullen with Toby Overall Champion Lurcher Shane Burns with Buster Overall Champion Terrier Marty Mc Donald with Rebel Overall Champion Strong Dog Chris Mc Court with Sandy Overall Champion Hound Iveaghs Grapevine Overall Champion and Best in Show Marty Mc Donald with Rebel Overall Champion Reserve Chris Mc Court with Sandy Congratulations to all above winners and well done. And Finally, may I take this opportunity to thank the judges on the day, for doing a wonderful job.The Judging was delivered with accuracy and integrity, and a job was well done by all. A special word of thanks to these legends in the Doggie world yes The Mc Grath Dog Racing Club Carlow. Again this year Biddy, you and the boys, and you as a team excelled yourselves in everything you done on the day for the Burren Working Dog Charity Show and Club and many thanks for that. You have been so helpful to so many clubs North and South of the border over the years and long may it last. Finally, Finally this top show would not of been possible without this now well experienced and brilliant show organiser. Yes, I would like to thank the coordinator of this spectacular charity event Stephen Mc Nally and his family, Dad Louis, mother Margaret, brothers Martin and Noel, sister Theresa, Philip Mackin, and a most willing, helpful and friendly back up team and helpers for another top charity show and race day. A light went out in the Mc Nally household, when Stephen and his family lost a son and a beloved brother to cancer. This is total heart break for any family, but Stephens reason and inspiration behind the Burren Charity Working Dog Shows is to keep the memory of his brother alive through giving back to the charities, through his dog shows to the people who helped the family in their hour of need. This years chosen charity “Daisy Lodge Cancer Fund For Children “ is a charity that makes a real difference in the lives of families affected by cancer. Their mission is to empower and connect families, giving them the support they need to cope with the emotional and practical challenges of a cancer diagnosis. They also stand beside bereaved families, offering care and guidance to those grieving the loss of a child or parent. This is where your gate, racing, ring and raffle contribution to The Burren Charity Working Dog Show will go to, and what a very worthy cause. For that we truly thank you for your contribution. Thanks to Stephen and the Burren Team for a most enjoyable day, for the kindness you have shown to John and myself on the day. A brilliant venue and a brilliant day full of lovely memories, and I am already looking forward to more of the same god willing in 2026. To we meet again God Bless. Margaret Mc Stay

      The Keep er Lit Dog Show and Raceday Sunday 20th July 2025
      Doagh Equestrian is situated on the beautiful Antrim coast in the village of Doagh, Co Antrim. This was a new venue for the “Keep er Lit” Dog show and Race day and the ideal spot for   last Sundays Show.  
      From early morning, cars and trailers arrived from North and South of the border. Some people came as far away as Limerick and Drogheda with families and dogs in tow. Our good canine folk love a good dog show in the summer and a chat with like minded people. They certainly were not disappointed at the Keep er Lit show.  
      As the show progressed, so did the banter and the craic. The rings were well spaced out with a good long race track. Paul Boyd was there with his country sports stand, with everything needed in the hunting fraternity. 
      Some very tasty burgers were available on site and an Equestrian shop with great discounts on offer on the day. I had to take control of my retail therapy when I got into that shop, as I was like a child in a toy shop with to much to choose from.
      The weather was glorious all day and at times to warm. As usual the raffle generated a great buzz around the field with some great prizes on offer. 
      The show started with the racing first at approximately 12.30

      Congratulations to all above winners.
      And Finally, may I take this opportunity to thank the judges and their ring stewards on the day,on behalf of the Keep er Lit Team for a job well done.
      Strong Dog Judge : Gareth Barnett
      Lurcher Judge       : Gerard Melaugh
      Whippet Judge      : Colin Maguire
      Terrier Judge         : Martin Breen
      Pets Judge             : Gail Ross
      Judging is not an easy job, but you were consistent and fair, and very successful with the end product. 
      The racing was carried out as usual to perfection by The Mc Grath Racing Club Carlow. These people have many years experience in the Canine world both in showing and racing and their input helps to alleviate the pressure on the show organizer on the day. A job well done Biddy and team. 
      Some lovely photographs were taken on the day by various people, and no doubt these will be up on the site shortly.
      And Finally, Finally, they say behind every good man is a good woman and Leigh Thompson along with Paddy Gibson, you both definitely fitted into that category. Your show was run with impeccable organisation. It was evident on the day a lot of hard work and sleepless nights was put into  this now annual Show. Leigh and Paddy you pulled out all the stops on the day and produced a top class show in a top class venue. Well done and a credit to you both.
      I am Looking forward to more of the same in 2026. Thank you for the memories.To we meet again God Bless.
