pbrookes 450 Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 Went there in1991 with gouldy and old joe heffernon. Cracking weekend digging and drinking. I was only a youngster took me weeks to recover Judged dogs at it 3 times in the early 00s and IMO it was up there with the best shows ever. I never got home in under 3 days either, LOL. I still have a few videos of the show including the year there was around 40 proper Wheatens in the one field at the same time. That's something that will probably never ever be seen again. I judged the Wheatens that year and it was an honour. Would have loved to have got over for it, would have been around the time I visited DD, he sent me a few photos from the show im sure. Pity that as you missed out on something that we'll probably never see the likes again.Plenty of lads from all over GB and Europe used to come to it and if I remember correctly I think Boston Blacky judged the bull dogs one year. Then we'd all be in the Farmers the next day, drunk, LOL. The weight pulling was also great. One year two bulldogs both pulled the same and there were no weights left (the weight was 30 or 40 four inch solid blocks.) so the boys put a kid sitting on top of the blocks and one bulldog pulled it and one didn't. I didnt have the luck of the irish! Was all booked up to go to the Waterford show one year, but the venue was waterlogged & cancelled.. The Sweep Bar, another great show ran by Pat and Foxy (The South East T + L club) . That show must have ran for near 20 years.Went there in1991 with gouldy and old joe heffernon.

No, you can thank the Nazi like work done by certain authorities in the North that stopped dog folk showing of their good healthy fit dogs. Pity. Quote Link to post
