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

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?
