Cracking show dessie, had a real good day out. if your dog wins or not, it's still a good days craic.

WhippetLad

Totally agree with vermin catcher. There's too many shows on this that get a lot of undeserved stick and grief, and mostly by people who weren't even them. Like I said before dessie great show.

What a disappointing day, drive over an hour to get my dogs judged by a complete Plunker ! How can his final champion lurcher be placed second to j.humpries dog in a class and then go on to win 2 more classes and win the final? Please explain this? Has the dog changed in 10 minites or did he visit spec savers!

Lurcher Judging was terrible , of all the nice bull cross dogs on the field he picked out had to be worst looking dog there! Big flat feet, no shape or condition in him at all, kennel sores u cud see a mile away,y cudnt the judge cudnt find them!funny how the same man won best lurcher pup with a big fat bull cross pup. And in the hairy dogs he picked the smoothest dogs in the class! Never again disgraceful

How can that happen , to get second in one class and then end up winning the whole thing? Was someone whispering in his ear what to pick? Is that even aloud to happen?

Yes this can happen if someone has a dog in the wrong class for example if a smaller type dog is pit into the fox class a dog could be better suited for foxes could beat it but then the smaller dog could win a lamping class and end up in the final along side a dog that beat it and as the final is not judged by class but on conformation and condition etc the dog that came second to another could quite well win the final. But as for today I didnt notice the incident to comment but I did see the judge drinking cider in the ring ??? Very unprofessional and in all I thought it the most irratic judging I have seen in a long time. The only explation I can come up with for today's lurcher judging is due to some of the assholes on this site mouthing off about what a dog should be used for I think the judge had been instructed not to pick any thing too show like and to make sure a working dog won

Judges being instructed what to put up????????? I would just put it down to the judge not favouring the more showy lurchers, and as for drinking a can of cider.............I think exhibitors have been more "unprofessional"...................... in the past I had to ask one guy to either finish his phone conversation or just go out of the ring as I couldn't even get my hands on the dog, another stood eating a burger while I tried to go over his lurcher.............another instance I couldn't get near the dog for the exhibitors children!!! All part and parcel of the terrier/lurcher/whippet show scene I'm afraid lol

      The Keep er Lit Dog Show and Raceday Sunday 20th July 2025
      By appleblossom
      The Keep er Lit Dog Show and Raceday Sunday 20th July 2025
      Doagh Equestrian is situated on the beautiful Antrim coast in the village of Doagh, Co Antrim. This was a new venue for the “Keep er Lit” Dog show and Race day and the ideal spot for   last Sundays Show.  
      From early morning, cars and trailers arrived from North and South of the border. Some people came as far away as Limerick and Drogheda with families and dogs in tow. Our good canine folk love a good dog show in the summer and a chat with like minded people. They certainly were not disappointed at the Keep er Lit show.  
      As the show progressed, so did the banter and the craic. The rings were well spaced out with a good long race track. Paul Boyd was there with his country sports stand, with everything needed in the hunting fraternity. 
      Some very tasty burgers were available on site and an Equestrian shop with great discounts on offer on the day. I had to take control of my retail therapy when I got into that shop, as I was like a child in a toy shop with to much to choose from.
      The weather was glorious all day and at times to warm. As usual the raffle generated a great buzz around the field with some great prizes on offer. 
      The show started with the racing first at approximately 12.30 
      Here are the Racing and Showing Results

      Congratulations to all above winners.
      And Finally, may I take this opportunity to thank the judges and their ring stewards on the day,on behalf of the Keep er Lit Team for a job well done.
      Strong Dog Judge : Gareth Barnett
      Lurcher Judge       : Gerard Melaugh
      Whippet Judge      : Colin Maguire
      Terrier Judge         : Martin Breen
      Pets Judge             : Gail Ross
      Judging is not an easy job, but you were consistent and fair, and very successful with the end product. 
      The racing was carried out as usual to perfection by The Mc Grath Racing Club Carlow. These people have many years experience in the Canine world both in showing and racing and their input helps to alleviate the pressure on the show organizer on the day. A job well done Biddy and team. 
      Some lovely photographs were taken on the day by various people, and no doubt these will be up on the site shortly.
      And Finally, Finally, they say behind every good man is a good woman and Leigh Thompson along with Paddy Gibson, you both definitely fitted into that category. Your show was run with impeccable organisation. It was evident on the day a lot of hard work and sleepless nights was put into  this now annual Show. Leigh and Paddy you pulled out all the stops on the day and produced a top class show in a top class venue. Well done and a credit to you both.
      I am Looking forward to more of the same in 2026. Thank you for the memories.To we meet again God Bless.
