I am delighted that our judges have been well received for Birr and I trust they get a good entry. Our prize fund is second to none anywhere and the Roscrea lads are a great team so please give them your support. We are delighted to host the Mourne Digging Championships and a stand by the IWTF.

Looking forward to a great weekend, lets hope the weather stays clear.

Thanks - delighted that judges for the terriers have all given their support to the IWTF and hopefully the terrier & lurcher folk will visit the IWTF stand in the Salmon & Woodcock Pavilion to register their interest.

Mixedgill, I'd imagine that comment is said with tongue in cheek . I don't know Breandan too well but have spoke with him on a few occasions....he comes across as a genuine working dog person, a straight talker, calls a spade a spade and someone who knows a hell of a lot through experience and knowledge what he's talking about!!!!

Daz if I was speaking to you I'd have you thinking I was a doctor

aj stated the judges were well recievedLOL

I bet appleblossoms report does nt agree with your views on the show?LOL

Leeview,

 

The judges were well received before the event and I am confident ALL of them know a whole lot more about dogs and sportsmanship in Ireland than a guy who creeps on to the forum at this time of the year to criticise everything we try to do to promote a positive image of working dogs. If anyone looks at his posts about our Game Fairs they will see a pattern emerge from the posts from a person almost totally ignorant about what he posts and someone who obviously has a huge chip on his shoulder over his exchanges with me. I consider I am fortunate never to have met the man - I can argue with the best of them and in fact I now regard many of the people with whom I had arguments with on this and other sites as friends, because I recognised that their criticism was constructive and when we met up we spoke our minds and agreed to disagree. I don't mind anyone having strong views or speaking their mind. AND I don't mind him criticising me - as I totally don't value his opinion. BUT I do object to him criticising our event organisers who are good dog men trying to do a difficult job and run fair events.

You just won't please every one Albert organising a show is a thankless job but i think your doing a great job in promoting working dogs and I believe a lovely looking working dog won the five nations
