Again thank you for your support and hope this will continue.

perhaps its because they support and attend most shows Graham, personally i don't enjoy them, so don't go but i've never understand why people get hot under the collar regarding showing or racing, its only a bit of summer craic , certainly not to be taken too serious.

Congratulations to all the winners!!!! and the dogs that were placed :toast: .

 

Looks like a lot of the top prizes for the racing lurcher dogs went down the M1, must be something to do with the water down that part of the world :D:D .

 

Working whippets....who is Nicky Robinson?.....must be a mistake, Graham Fyffe or is it Savage owns Bolt :boogy:

 

A big WELL DONE!!! to Brian Crothers with Nell on winning the Best In Show in the Lurchers :toast: .

Lawrence totally u agree with show same faces but surely dogs should be picked on what class there in for. I've seen veterian terrier class been giving to terriers that should never be winning it because there owned by someone who goes to every show same as lurcher some of them an judges to a very poor standard

      " Keep er Lit " Dog Show Sunday 26th April 2026
      It was rise and shine time on Sunday morning and just as dawn was breaking into daylight, we were on our way to our first dog show of the year. Very soon deep in the heart of the County Antrim countryside we arrived at the now famous Doagh Equestrian, and the venue for the annual “Keep er Lit “ dog show and what a day that was.  
      As usual the grass was immaculately cut with the show rings well spaced out and plenty of cold water for our precious canine friends on a very warm day 
      As the morning progressed into noon, cars and trailers with dogs in tow filled the field to capacity.  There was a very large crowd at this now very popular annual show.   The craic and the banter was in full swing among the huntsmen and women, after waving good bye to Mr Fox and his girlfriend of on their summer holidays.
      As I walked around the field I spoke to many of my canine friends of yester year. There was plenty of tea, coffee and chips on offer and Paul Boyd was there with everything you need in Country Sports gear. 
      Some great bargains was to be had in the  Equestrian shop on site with big discounts on offer on the day. I had to take control of my retail therapy when I got into the shop, otherwise I would off went home penniless.  
      When showing was complete, it was Raffle Time, and as usual the raffle generates a lot of excitement around the field, with some great prizes on offer. Time passes so quickly and very soon it was show time. 
      Here are the Showing Results from the pen of Leigh Thompson

      And Finally, Finally Leigh Thompson and Paddy Gibson, what can I say that will praise this partnership enough. Your show was well organised, a roaring success, and a credit to all good sporting shows and a great window for Country Sports.  It was evident on the day a lot of hard work went on behind the scenes, with a heavy emphasis on our hard working dogs both in the field and in the ring, and to make this show so enjoyable for everybody on the day.  
      Leigh and Paddy, Thanks for the memory and I am already looking forward to more of the same in 2027.
