Ireland Roscrea Working Dog Social Club Dog Show 9Th June

[aslan 30]

sorry guys,but this show today was the worst i've been to in years.i dont think Mr Cullen had a clue.I've never seen this man judge or even show a dog before and the fact he writes for a magazine and makes his own dvds dosent make him a judge.All he seemed to be doing was petting the dogs,no teeth or feet were checked on any dog in the ring.when I saw 2 very respected dogmen leave the show after a half hour,there had to be something wrong.The man on the P.A. was poor,the gundog judge had the entrants running round the ring with their dogs on more than one occasion,(in the heat of today,what the hell was that about.)The man who judged the terriers had brought his dogs to show along with a mate of his who again had brought dogs to show but was approached at the last minute to judge,meaning neither he or his mate could show, and finally some of your own members were showing dogs.A big NO,NO.you never show your dogs at your own show,why would you??.sorry again but the best part of the show for me was going back out the gate.I wont be back but best of luck in the future.

Have to agree with you on the lurcher judge never seen any one so bad at it what I thought was very bad was him trying to sell his DVDs out of the show ring . I don't no the lad so can't say weather he no a good dog or not but any more shows he's judging at I will not be bothering to bring a lurcher with me .

Lads why did ye not approach shane and make him aware of this situation on the day. I know where your concerns are coming from regarding this issue, a lot of time and effort goes into the running of a show as you well know,,, and I am sure shane would have been grateful for your input on the day. Its a pity regarding the negative feedback on this forum, I was at one of their shows and had a great day, but like everything else in life you just can't get it right all the time. I am sure the boys will come back bigger and better next year.

Well for someone say it was the worst show of the year it is rubbish talk in the first place,tommy got some very good comments on Facebook etc.the think about it is every man or judge ave there own type of dog they would like i dont know who you are make these comments.for anyone that runs a show knows how stressful it is i done my very best to put on a good show which think wee done that.the think with Matt slevin judging the terriers all i can say is thanks to Matt des stepping in my terrier judge let me down and Matt said himself he knows what it is like to be let down and yes i felt very let down its not nice when it happens.ye were all on here complaining about dogs and bitches judged separated in one class was no dogs or bitches and in others there was only two or three in the class like wat can i do only my best alot of people left the field very happy sorry for your disappointment

it sure is a thankless job shane fair play to matt for standing in and as long as he wasnt judging his own dogs what difference does it make that he went there to show his dogs at least the man was kind enough to help out another show in a crisis

As I said the lurcher judge was the worst I have ever seen , every thing else was up to a I high standard . Ask members from your own club as to how they think he judge the the lurchers.

Matt did not mind standing in on the day, he would help out any show. We run a show ourselves we know how hard it is to get people to turn up to do a job on the day. You thanked him enough on the day, he was delighted with the food and drinks, and so were the kids, you could not have done any more. Thanks for your great hospitatility, we enjoyed the day, and the dogs got a nice drive. Everybody who runs their own show will say the same, we have to stick together, and help each other out, if not it will be the end for a lot of shows. Then where will everybody go on a sunday.

Bullcross as i said to you at the show, you had a black dog and brown dog and yourself and your mate were not placed in any class and were not happy, i judged the lurcher part and would not change any of my decisions on the day, alot of well respected lurchermen were at the show that have judged themselves and they agreed with the dogs i picked, many of the dogs have won at other shows also, it seems this website gives lads a chance to run people down without useing your real names, if you go on to any of the facebook pages you will say any of the lads at the show were very happy with the job i did many of whom are showing and working dogs for years, maybe bullcross and aslan you no better than everyone else

Thanks Shaneg the day was good the weather was good and there were good dogs there And as for lurchers Ireland you must have had people saying the same to you at the show about your judging or lack of it in nice to see that you use your real name on here to and if you think that being a judge and selling your DVDs at the same time is good well fair play to you .I enjoy my day out and that and it's all a bit of fun in the off season
