Na tats just u pigsy

Matter of interest flash did you send your dog ovet the high jump?I thhink There was only 3 dogs that took part a lot of time and effort was taken to construct ihe high jump fair due Hopefully next year there will be a few improvements to the jump like a bit of scaffold and there should be a few more take part.

Dare I say this discussion illustrates what is wrong with this forum or really the people who come on to it to 'bitch' or give their opinion in an agressive and personalised fashion, and 'hands up' I have been guilty myself for re-acting to some of the comments in a less than objective fashion..

 

As I said there were some good points made on a potential welfare issue for dogs jumping but Ian appeared to take them on board and as only a few dogs appeared to take part and none appeared to be injured then it was all rather hypothetical. The problem arose because the posts became more personalised and aggressive . Surely with the whole concept of hunting with dogs under threat the whole country sports community can debate issues more constructively and without personal attacks on each other and without constantly going over old ground. We can't change the past only learn from it.

 

Now I have complimented Ian on his initiative in making innovations to the terrier, whippet & lurcher events at the NICountryside Festival formerly National Countrysports Fair. I trust he will, like we do, take the constructive part of these discussions and improve his events - why not give him a chance?

Ffs its a high jump get over it have you any idea y the other dogs didnt take part there show ponies might brake a nail

They have never been out in a field in the the winter because rabbits do to many turns sometimes backflips defiently not a straight line and dont mention the stones laying on the ground and for dear sake not the barb wire some whippet crosses or 7/8 lurchers will (greyhound) might dirty there coat or get myxi

I don't agree with u there my dogs don't jump cuz they r 2 lazy an will go under a gate or thru barb wire fences

Maybe they are smart enough to know if there is an easier/safer way to take it :thumbs: Been involved in the sport for years and never had to have a dog scale a 9ft wall My dog could not do it simple as . I think Ian has taken all that has been said on the matter and will make a few improvments Wish Ian and co all the best and will support the show

      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.
