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.

personally i think yous all should have come up and talked to the IWTF and supported what we are trying to do, the work we have done and the advice we could have given anyone of yous as in regarding the dog game in northern ireland or southern ireland, we are not actually lurchermen but we do know a fair bit about your particular choice in dogs..ie..the lurcher and what you can and can not do to work them legally in ireland.... the terriermen all seemed too stay away too lol.... yeah of course we had some interest and the weather was bad... but the fair itself was really good with great stalls, loadsa choice, great judges, fine food and an amazing turn out, was just a wee bit dishearted if im honest at the lack of support that we really should be receiving... instead of fighting over who won a lurcher race at a show or who got the prize rosette.... :huh:

i suppose the lurcher racing men have nothing to worry about as there bit of sport is not under attack ..... until phillpot decides its cruel to breed a lurcher for running if he gets his way with the terriers it will not be long before he is looking to criminalise lurchers and everyman that owns one

this is crazy, its f*****g race and something to do in the summer for FUN, its the same people with the same bullshit about who did or didnt win a rosette lol, if i was albert i would have given up long ago or banned those who continuously whinge about it, if your that keen on racing get a greyhound and get on the track

Albert,

on another thread you said that there would be 3 line judges and photo finish equipment to clarify any confusion and challenges. Close calls would be decided by a 2 to 1 decision by the judges.

 

Yet now there was only 1 judge and no photo finish?

I was speaking about the Master McGrath race but I think lesson learned not just for Shanes but all shows for all racing - need at least two judges as it is a onerous and thankless task for one line judge.

But 4 isn't far off 6 I got sick watching greyhound racing I thot I was standing at a cousing meeting

 

Flash,

 

If you deposit your £20 and make a formal complaint we will seek to investigate the breeding of the dogs in question. But you must see that you are impugning the reputation of all who raced unless you make specific claims about dogs and individuals.
