Lure Only Days During The Winter Months


Recommended Posts

As the show season is coming to an end and the hunting season has now begun would there be much of an interest in having a number of lure only days during the winter. Not everyone hunts their dogs and I have spoken to lots of people at the various shows who never get the opportunity to school their dogs on the lure due to not having a lure or they don't have anyone to help them operate the lure and slip the dogs etc etc. There are dogs out there who showed little interest in chasing the lure but after a bit of schooling turned out to be great dogs. Also it will help people who have pups during the winter months as it makes it much easier if it's done in a group.

 

This has been talked about in the past but it would be great to get it up and running.

Dazzam helped my dog (ollie) who wouldn't even look at a lure, after a few lessons with this man, he was beating some of the best whippets about. Would recommend this man for any dog that needs trained. My new pup will be needing schooled in the winter. She's gonna be a quick one.

Thanks Ricky but all we done was school him on the lure....it's more to do with the work that you and Kirsty have put into him plus that Chontelle one....she's a dark horse....think i'll watch how she slips Ollie next time as I might learn a thing or two :yes: . I reckon there's lots of other dogs out there which have loads of potential but just never get the opportunity to get schooled on the lure.

Listen Bluebandit, Dazzam could wait till your dogs are half way up the track, slip my dog from the van, he would jump the fence win the race and still be back in the van having a rub down and some (hay) when your dogs cross the line. And that would be after a good nights lamping the night before the race ffs. Its all down to ability not the slipper and to the sugar cubes and apples we feed him before a race.lol. Wish I could have been there this week but Cody is fighting in Scotland, I hope you all have a brill day and the weather is kind. And hope my dog remains undefeated to the end,if not ill blame Dazzam and,me not being there.;-) HAVE A GREAT DAY EVERYONE.

If he jumped the fence and didn't run the whole course, I'm afraid we would have to disqualify him.......lol!! :laugh:

 

Best of luck to Cody :thumbs: , I'm sure someone will be keeping you posted on how things pan out on Sunday :whistling:

      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.
