It’s healthy for us to compete against other like minded dog men/women, but ffs take it on the jaw if you fail to reach the same heights as the next man/woman. I don’t show or race dogs, why? Many moo

there was no complaining about the racing at the mourne and that was because i stated on the line if there was any problems then spit it out there and then and funny enough face to face there were no

i was over judging the clondulane show a few weeks ago and nothing wrong with that irish show, very well run and managed great prizes and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves and the craic. also

As far as I know there was no prize money at Camlough so this would tend to knock your theory on the head And when we put up good prize money for gundogs, angling and clays we don't have this srt of trouble.

there was no complaining about the racing at the mourne and that was because i stated on the line if there was any problems then spit it out there and then and funny enough face to face there were no complaints,the fact is all the mouthing happens from behind keyboards under false names and it doesnt matter about any prizes from there.I can tell you all under my own name weither you like it or not that the most of the ones who run the shows are sick of this goin on and if it keeps up it could be a long boring summer in 2013.

It would appear to me that there is nothing wrong with Irish shows. It's more to do with the people attending and after event mudslinging. Much the same happens over here in "Blighty" but with a lot less vigour.

One thing I have noticed over here though, is that racing is either advertised as an "open" meaning Greys are welcome to run or there is racing for Greys in the racing schedule.

Yes, you will always get the ones that must win at all costs and put up a grey in amongst the Lurchers but who are they really cheating?

      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

      And Finally, may I take this opportunity to thank the judges and their ring stewards on the day for a job well done.

      Terriers   =    Dave Roberts
      Strong Dogs =  Jonny Bell
      Pets               =   Karla
      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.
