spot on dez , if anyone in the hunting game is only in it to line there pockets i have no hesitation in saying i will not help fill them pockets. there are enough packs struggling for funds and plenty of organisations that would greatly benifit from any funds they can get....... money raised in the dog game should stay and benifit the dog game.......

 

if thats yer aim lads i wish ye the best and hope ye do well,

Is there some rule if people run a show it has only to be for a charity, ? Is there some thing wrong with the organisers making a profit,,, ? sound like your a bit jealous... they put a lot of time and effort in the show , hope they make a mint...

mate, my point is simply this,there are some of us who support as many shows as we can,i only missed 1 show last year,all the shows on the circuit that i know support a charity or a hunt pack,charity,be it cancer,you never know when it'll come knocking on your door (the Rathnew show),or say the lisgould show whos proceeds go to a local kids school or the many hunt packs be them the Waterford, the rockview or a new show this year The kilmagany,god knows these hunt packs need the money to keep things running smoothly.so i'll support them. now for those of you who pick and choose which shows you attend,wouldn't it be better to support a show whos proceeds were going into something worthwhile rather than a session down the local for the organisers to see it pissed up against a wall at the end of the night.p.s. I know all about the time and effort it takes to run a show.

looking forword to the show. des pm me your no

[Fox Lad 49]

Well said Aslan about supporting the shows.. How many clubs out there raise money for the cancer support.. I know wicklow Lurcher terrier and whippet club does.. The members of the Wicklow Lurcher terrier and whippet club support a lot of the shows but I was sorry to see last year a very bad turn out to the wicklow show which supports cancer support .. So can the organisers of the baltinglass show please let the public know where the money raised is going and who are the judges on the day ........!!!!!!! P.s I don't want to stand on anyone's toes but the public have a right to know

Lurcher Ireland (tommy cullen) is only in dogs to make money for him self. I have never ever seen any one ask to judge a lurcher at a show and try to sell his DVD in the ring at the same time as judging . He, with all his pics on Facebook and his greed to make money out of a sport that so many of us love, will bring much un-wanted attention from the anti-hunting brigade. he will be the only one that will gain in the end . I for one will not be supporting any show that puts money before the sport itself.

Yes I completely agree with bullcross13, Mr.Cullen judged a show down south, while selling his DVD while in the ring, he must of forgotten his classes that day cause several top lurcher men and women left the field disgusted .. I also remember readying an article stating that he wouldn't deal with shows and game fairs and most certainly wouldn't judge as he wouldn't like to down grade a working dog.. Can someone tell me how he changed his tune over night.. Simply cause of greed, and publicity..

What would desie Macken know about whippets a joke he will be in it for money as well

[AlbertJ 569]

Shield, I think you are being a little unfair to Dessie. He is a dog man through and through and has been one of the top winners and judges of terriers internationally as well as in Ireland. I know for a fact Dessie puts a lot back into dogs through various sponsorships/donations etc and when I attended his Christmas show I said to my wife as I went away - that must have cost Des some money. I would suspect his judging will actually cost money because when he was one of three judges at Birr in the FN - he didn't take his expenses that were offered! I don't know whether Des has ever kept whippets but you don't have to keep a particular kind of dog to be able to judge what is a good one - the BIS judge at Crufts doesn't keep all the types of dogs they judge and obviously Des has judged the best of whippets when he has judged BIS.

 

I have given a little sponsorship this show because I thought it was good to have some more shows in the south so that people didn't have too far to travel to qualify for our FN and Master McGrath events but as someone who knows how much it costs to put on even a small event I didn't really think it important to ask Tommy how he was going to disperse his profits ( I any). I am sure it will become clear after the show when and if profits are actually made. AlbertJ

Surely no one gives a toss about who judges a show there only a bit of fun if not then buy a King Charles and get competitive . Please don't use swear words(crafts)on this site .all the best

[vermin catcher 219]

Its quite clear "shield" that out of the 10 posts you have made from joining THL under this " new name" that most of your posts are directed at Dessie Mackin and either running the man or his shows down. Hidden agenda maybe????? You were quite willing to attend his show (or you said you attended his show!!) two weeks ago ,so whats changed in those two weeks? If your view was that he is into dogs for money why did you attend his show then run it down on here afterwards?. Your hidden agenda and lies are catching you out and its plain for all to see.
