Delighted to say that interest in the combined Ballywalter & Shanes Castle Fairs has really continued to build towards our objective of delivering the largest Irish game fair ever.   It looks as

hi Albert, is it yourself that has the Ruadth kennel?.

 

Not so much a kennel now one 13 yo old but still fullyfit Golden dog, A gordon setter dog, a golden retriever bitch and a pup.

 

Had a dog pup from your lines, he was a very early starter, very biddable and easily trained, possibly the easiest I've ever owned. Got an eight month old pup at the minute called after him, unfortunately that's the only similiarity, but we'll get there.

 

Some learn quicker than others - goldens can be slow. I have a just 3 month pup at the minute who is a very quick learner - but not from my own lines! Mail me your pup's breeding to irishgamefair@btinternet.com

YM,

 

we have you down for the demo - it is not intended to embarass anyone just really a demo to show that lurchers can be trained. Next year we will make it a prooer competition. Be very disappointed if you don't step up to the mark.

      A Tribute to the late John Shaw who passed away  last Thursday 6th November 25
       
      I Am Free
      Do not grieve for me now my  friends and family, I am free
      I am following the path God Laid for me
      I took his hand when I heard him call
      I turned my back and left it all
      I could not stay another day
      To Love, to live, to hunt, to show my treasured Whippets, or play. 
      I found a peace at close of day.
      Be not burdened with the times of sorrow
      I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow
      Perhaps my time seemed all to brief
      Do not lengthen it now with undue grief
      Lift up your hearts my friends and share with me
      God wanted me now,  
      He set me free.
      John, we will love you forever and you will be sadly missed by your loving family and all your Country Sporting Fraternity and in the show ring.
      May the Angels above give you the best seat in Heaven and may your gentle soul rest in peace.
      For Country Sports Fraternity
      Margaret Mc Stay
