I have apologised to the NILRC secretary for my misunderstanding of the purpose of the NILRC records, as I had thought the idea was to have an open record where anyone could examine the size of a particular dog and therefore dogs didn't need to be measured again and again. It was not my intention to bring the NILRC into this thread in any way other than in a positive fashion as the custodians of a wide range of measurements. It has been made clear to me that the NILRC records of measurements will only be used at NILRC events or monitored by the NILRC.

 

Having thought about it I feel that such an open book of measurements would be a real asset to the lurcher community both to show organisers and competitors so if any club wishes to hold a race day and measuring session where the basis of an OPEN REGISTER can be created I am happy to sponsor the day through the Irish Countrysports and Country Life magazine and publish the results in a register in the magazine. The offer goes to clubs North & South so we can as far as possible have the basis of an All Ireland register. I think detailed measuring is more appropriately done at a specialist racing day when due attention can be given to marginal cases which, after all, are the only real causes of disputes than at a public fair.

 

It is now over to the Roscrea club as to whether they wish to measure the under 21" and under 23" winners. But I do suggest anyone in any doubt should ask for their dog to be measured before they enter a particular size restricted racing category. Thanks to everyone who made positive comments on the thread and who pmed me on HL &FB.

Glad to hear this happened, just unfortunate that there's still questionable "whippets" in the whippet racing.

Questionable whippets? the fact that pure bred whippet people are still willing to race there pure breeds against the blue dog, knowing what the dogs parents are , I have no sympathy to any person moaning about getting beat by that dog any more . good luck to them

Congratulations to all the race winners on Saturday. Well done to Fiona winning the u21, u23 and o23 elite racing. I'm a bit confused as to the whippet racing....was there not to be two separate whippet races one for kc registered papered whippets and one for unregistered whippets like there was at Shanes Castle?

      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.
