Enjoyed catching up with everyone again, and meeting some new men from over the water was good to get chatting properly and the meal afterwards was 5 star quality.... well done pat and kevin who after the show tallied up the takings and donated them to the Irish Working Terrier Federation with out the blink of an eye... you couldn't meet 2 more genuine terrier men ....well done Pat and Kevin...

I was coming out of the bar last night just after 11, there was 5 Moate locals having a smoke, they asked me what the occasion was...I told them it was a dog show and they couldnt believe it.... they wondered how over 50 hunting men could gather in the one bar at the one time drinking the bar dry and singing along to old Irish song and not a cross word between any of them.....I said that's cos there too busy finding out about lines to be cross lol...and that's how it went on right into stupid o clock... a lot of rough heads on flights and ferrys today id say...but id bet theyd do it all tomorrow again at the drop of a hat..... Fair play to Darren who had a lot of terriers to choose from 35 in the black dog class, 29 in the black bitch class... 29 white dogs and 23 white bitches... Lakeland class was also popular with 19 dogs and 15 bitches....and the cross breeds had a fair gathering also...

 

LOL...when you start getting flash backs of one liners men come out with, and conversations that were had, and chuckling its good ..... yous sure know how to throw a sesh!
