This is what grinds my gears about the terrier game. People losing there stand up over who judges a terrier beauty competion. I know the judge and he's as qualified as the nxt man to judge. But in all honesty it's a day out and a bit of craic and a few pints who cares who wins or what sort of head a dog who came third had. All the rosettes in Ireland won't stand to a dog and he six foot down working his game. Steak knife you need to untwist your knickers and see the day for what it really is. ....... .  And put your name down to judge nxt year. Even the best qualified judge will annoy someone with his choice. Think about it ?

The way I look at if a man can't even judge the company he keeps or maybe he can and that's even worse then should he  even be judging dogs at all and I agree with you all the rossetts in the world won't make them stay if they don't want to but its a show and dogs should be judged on appearance.

Where did I say I didn’t agree with the judges pick of winners on the day? Thats right bull I didn’t I said I didn’t agree with the organisers decision of who was to judge the show this year going by the men they had do the job in previous years what I believe helped make the show what it is until this year. Anyway he should have picked that other black dog from the north ?

I didn't say you disagreed withthe judges choices. I'm just saying shows should be taken for the light hearted day they are. A bit of dog craic that's all they are. People seem to lose there mind over who judges a show or who walked off with a nice fluffy rosette. Put your name forward to judge it next year if you feel so strongly about the judging of a beauty pageant.

So you would like me to contact the organisers and ask to be put forward to judge the show next year ? You would know all about beauty pageants Bull between you and MG I’m not sure who’s worse one has eaten all the pies and the other looks like he’s in desperate need of a good feed.

Ah now butter knife I must have got under your skin as your resorting to insults. I have a feeling your mixing me up with someone else buddy because you certainly don't know me. Your the one who has the problem with the judge so I thought you might feel you were better qualified to hand out rosettes than him or anyone else at that matter.........a bit jealous maybe??? As seeing you think you know me ???

I’m sorry Bull..Hands up ?

I thought you where someone else! I apologise to you unreservedly. I hope you accept my apology.

I’ve been asked to judge many’s a show and it’s not my scene. I have been put on the spot and few times by men still to this day and refuse to do it.

I judged 2 in my life and they were working dog shows. Everyone was welcome.

Some folk better off sticking to there VIP jumped up junky dog shows with no dogs about. Not a dog worked but plenty of gear  ?

      A Tribute to the late John Shaw who passed away  last Thursday 6th November 25
       
      I Am Free
      Do not grieve for me now my  friends and family, I am free
      I am following the path God Laid for me
      I took his hand when I heard him call
      I turned my back and left it all
      I could not stay another day
      To Love, to live, to hunt, to show my treasured Whippets, or play. 
      I found a peace at close of day.
      Be not burdened with the times of sorrow
      I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow
      Perhaps my time seemed all to brief
      Do not lengthen it now with undue grief
      Lift up your hearts my friends and share with me
      God wanted me now,  
      He set me free.
      John, we will love you forever and you will be sadly missed by your loving family and all your Country Sporting Fraternity and in the show ring.
      May the Angels above give you the best seat in Heaven and may your gentle soul rest in peace.
      For Country Sports Fraternity
      Margaret Mc Stay
