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:

      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

      It has been decided by the Mc Grath Lurcher Racing Club and by kind permission of  Mr AJ Titterington of The Great Game Fairs of Ireland, that their Annual Dog Show event in Carlow 2026 will take place over a two day event. 
      *Saturday the 27th June 26 will be Showing only for the 5 Nations and All Ireland Showing.
      *Sunday 28th June will be for Racing Only for the Master Mc Grath / Mick the Miller and All Ireland Racing. 
      Please note, All dogs that have qualified for the 5 Nations/Mick The Miller and Master McGrath in 2025 will again automatically be qualified for 2026 event. If a dog that has won a show is already qualified in 1st or 2nd then the qualifier will go to 3rd place.
