Firstly, no one held a gun to anyone’s head and made them enter their dog!! The jump wasn't hidden and everyone was quite able to see the set up before entering their dog.

 

Also, hay was added as the jump progressed in height, no matter what anyone says it did break the fall compared to landing just on the ground. And proved to do the job as none of the dogs were injured. Possibly few tweaks may be added next year to improve but it would be a lot more beneficial to give constructive criticism (in the likes of a P.M) rather than starting a whole debate slagging and making dicks out of yourselves.

 

It was as good a show as any other, with a little extra variety added (enjoyed by all those there, regardless what anyone says on this). People seem to forget that a show is only ever going to be as good as the people who support them. The ''select few'' that make things awkward for others need to catch themselves on and grow up!!

The hay was not in sight in the first pictures .You jump head first onto a drop of hay spread on the hard ground There is a picture of one dog scaling the fence and another dog jumping towards the one scaling the fence what is that about? .In present times there is quite alot of people who are opposed to lurcher folk and their exploits this could only lead to bad publicity

 

I wouldn't call raising a dog safety/welfare issue 'making dicks out of yourselves'. How good would it have looked to spectators and members of the general public watching, if a dog was seriously injured during that event for want of a better thought out landing for them?

I have been shocked to read these childish comments from what are supposedly men. My son is 12 years old and absolutely devoted to his "mutt" he could teach many about a genuine love for dogs and the great outdoors! Some of his comments are childish but that is due to the fact he is a child!! Liams Mum, Julie.

Hi Julie,

 

Simon and your son did have a civil discussion, and maybe Liam shouldn't be commenting on some of the threads if he is only 12? Not a dig, just an observation as many areas of the forum can be quite adult in content, we do have a good section for young hunters.

I would,nt put my dogs at risk with high jumping at shows,an unecessary risk just for a trophy.The best jumping test used to be the speed jumping [A show at Colne,Nelson? years ago used to put one on],the dog had to navigate several obstacles,wooden and wire fences,gates etc.nothing more than 4ft.The fastest dog to complete the circuit won,some friendly rivalry ensued and there was a long queue of entrants,it raised plenty of funds to boot.

None the less it was a super show, well done to the lads, Ian how many dogs turned up on the day, I lost count of the number of dogs on the ground, you have set very high standards regarding the quality of dogs that were on show, look forward to next year.

 

John

 

Cheers John,you judged in the access of 120 Lurchers on the day and it's a great compliment to all entry's regarding your comment

on the quality of dogs that entered the ring .

      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 
      Here are the Racing and Showing Results

      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.
