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 .

      A Tribute to the late John Shaw who passed away  last Thursday 6th November 25
       
      I Am Free
      Do not grieve for me now my  friends and family, I am free
      I am following the path God Laid for me
      I took his hand when I heard him call
      I turned my back and left it all
      I could not stay another day
      To Love, to live, to hunt, to show my treasured Whippets, or play. 
      I found a peace at close of day.
      Be not burdened with the times of sorrow
      I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow
      Perhaps my time seemed all to brief
      Do not lengthen it now with undue grief
      Lift up your hearts my friends and share with me
      God wanted me now,  
      He set me free.
      John, we will love you forever and you will be sadly missed by your loving family and all your Country Sporting Fraternity and in the show ring.
      May the Angels above give you the best seat in Heaven and may your gentle soul rest in peace.
      For Country Sports Fraternity
      Margaret Mc Stay
