Hi everyone, really excited about show on Sunday, but could really use a little help, I've attended shows before but have never entered a dog, I have a really nice bitch and I think it would be great fun putting her in the classes, so I'm totally new to the whole thing, just wondering does she have to be placed in another class to go for the champion class or is it separate altogether,

And in the racing class what is the difference between over 23 and over 23 elite?

Thanks for reading this and hope Sunday goes well for everyone involved!!

gs 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

Winners of a lurcher class at the show go forward to compete in the champion class of the show, And the winners of the overall lurcher champion qualify for the 5 nations in Birr castle, as for the racing the difference between the over 23s and Elite over 23s is the Elite racing is for dogs bred and trained for racing and the winner qualifys for the Master Mcgragh where as the other class of over 23s is for lurchers that just want a run on the day, great pizes for all the racing classes

Shield if you don't want peoples opinions and views of the shite your spouting then do not post. You never answered the questions regarding why you attended the show of a man you say is only interested in money gains from shows. So its plain to see your posts are more of a grudge rather than actual fact and im sure Dessie didn't need your blatantly biased opinions but you posted them all the same.

Thought I might pop over the water for a quick break with the family and drop in on the show on the way through but just checked out the price of the Ferry.... £300 to head over on Sat and come back Sun.

Maybe I'll miss it this time!!
