Chartpolski ,this bitch must be one of them rare all rounders LOL          

I said on another topic that Lurchers were in danger of splitting into three distinct types; "working", "showing" and "racing". This is allready happening. There are pups advertised as from "Show Winn

why not just get rid of the racing altogether and the bickering and lies will stop.

Albert if a certan person last year got put out of the terrier ring for cheating an nothing was done about an now these greyhounds in for lurcher racing sure we all may aswell take lurchers down to shelbourn park but we wouldn't be able to race if people are found out cheating an caught at it y can't they be banned from a show maybe I'd better keep my mouth shut or someone will take revenge on me like what happened to a certain terrier man this year

Its not the point its the princeable I don't like cheaters there's only 1 of my dogs don't work an she's a family pet an she's good at running for a bull cross so y should people that like to race proper lurchers have to race against greyhounds from the south when they think its normal to do so

They split the racing up this year an there was still greyhounds being run the all ireland under 23inch was a over an if they did stay away there would still be bitching as its always got money involved if next year had 5er or a bag of meal there wouldn't be many looking to enter an it should go back to that

thats where the 2 dog heats come in to their own not many pures have the stamina for 6 heats,you just have to run qualifiers same as final ,if a lurcher coundnt run 6 hares in two hours ity aint much use over here in blighty ,afterall it is supposed to be lurcher racing ,from what i gather from the posts it sounds like the flapping we used to see years ago ,good hunting folks.

      The Annual DWTC Dog Show Sunday 26th May 24.
      The sun was beaming down on the Gilford countryside last Sunday morning 26th May 24 as the good canine folk from North and South of the border made their way to the DWTC (Tom Barrys) annual dog show. This location was an excellent venue for a dog show with good ringside parking and well spaced out rings.
      The good weather brought the crowds out to full capacity. The children were bouncing about enjoying themselves in the mid-day sun, while the older folk showed off their prized canine friends in the different ring categories.
      From early morning, cars and trailers arrived with families and dogs in tow.  As the show progressed, so did the banter and the craic. The raffle always generates a flurry of excitement around the field with some nice prizes on offer. Some happy punters went home with some lovely prizes.
      Time moves swiftly on and very soon it was Showing Time. 
      Here are the results from the pen of Tom Barry.
       
      Champion Whippet Pup 
      Suzanne Addis with Jax.
      Champion Terrier  PUP
      Jonny with Bramble.
      Champion Lurcher Pup
      Kyle Quinn with Ranger.
      Champion Strong Dog Pup
      Gerard Bailey with Buster.
      Champion Terrier.
      Kyle Quinn with Meg.
      Champion Lurcher 
      Neil Fitzpatrick with Spike.
      Champion Whippet 
      Vanessa Lynn with Louis.
      Champion Strong Dog 
       DECKY MC DAID WITH DARLA
      Bull x Champion and Darren Mackin Cup 
      Neil Fitzpatrick with Rocky.
      Overall Champion
      Decky Mc Daid with Darla
      Congratulations to all the above winners.
      And Finally Tom would like to thank the Judges on the day for a job well done
      Terriers /Jed Brady  
      Strong Dogs /Tim Mc Kinstry  
      Lurchers/Sean Lavery  
      Whippets/TJ Barry  
      Judging is not an easy job, but you all carried out your duties very fair and to perfection. Some cracking photographs up on Hunting Life at the moment. This is what memories are made off, and It is nice to have them to look back on when winter  hits the window.
      And Finally Finally, I always save the best to last. To the show organiser Tom Barry  and your back up team, you produced a first class show with impeccable skill and organisation and pulled out all the stops to make your show a memorable day full of excitement and enjoyment for everyone. I am told every part of your show went like clockwork. Well done and a credit to all involved. 
      Unfortunately I could not make any of the shows last weekend, apologies, as I ended up in Craigavon Hospital with a septic foot from a Clegg bite I got at Craigavon Lakes out luring our dogs the previous Tuesday evening. That turned into a very bad infection, resulting in last weekend totally out for me. Upwards and Onwards, I am up and running again.
      To we meet again God bless, and keep safe.

      South Tyrone Fox Hounds Dog Show and Raceday, Saturday 18th May 24
      Annaghmore Raceway is an up to date and well designed track set in the leafy picturesque Armagh countryside.  As the new summer season of the thrills and spills of our dog shows commence, this venue was the ideal spot for the South Tyrone Foxhounds Dog Show and Race Day last Saturday 18th My 24. 
      From early morning, cars and trailers arrived from North and South of the border, with families and dogs in tow. There was a Burger Bar, a Country Sports Stand, and a goodies stand for the wee people on site   
      As the show progressed, so did the banter and the craic. It was nice to meet up with so many regular show goers, and also to meet some new ones. Our Canine people have hearts of gold, always contributing  and supporting our charities along the way, and this one was no different. What a lovely job this is. 
      Niall O Cloghan and sons were there with their wonderful Terrier Maze. This maze brings so much joy and excitement to every Terrier man in the country, seeing their well breed terriers running the gauntlet from one end of the Maze to the other and winning a prize at the end of it. Niall this Maze is a great invention and long may it continue.
      The weather was glorious with sunshine all day. The show started at approximately 12.00 noon with the racing first.
      Here are the Racing and Showing Results

      Judging is not an easy job, but you were consistent and fair, and very successful with the end product. 
      The racing was carried out to perfection by a young lady of young years Katelyn McKenzie, with the help of her mother Leanne Hawthorne, herself has many years of experience in the Canine world. A job well done ladies.
      Some lovely photographs were taken on the day by Eamon Mc Erlean. You definitely have the knack of photography Eamon, and no doubt these will be up on the site shortly.
      And Finally, Finally for a first time show, well what can I say. They say behind every good man is a good woman and Hanna Heinonen you definitely fit that bill. Hanna Heinonen and Ryan Carville you run this show with impeccable organisation, along with your team Charlotte Eaton, Daniel Jones and other members of the committee. 
      Hanna and Ryan, you pulled out all the stops on the day and produced a first time top class show with a top class venue on the day. Well done and a credit to all involved.
      I am Looking forward to more of the same in 2025.
      This show was in aid of Air Ambulance Northern Ireland, and what a cause. The air ambulance saves so many lives each year and have touched on all our lives in one way or the other. What a deserving Charity.
