Nice area Lurchers, terriers, etc. Dont know who’s judging but the last few years I’ve been the judges seemed to know their stuff , apart from the lurcher judges who only gave me second place ! LOL ! Just joking, it’s only a little hunt show where a few like minded people meet up to support the hunt . 2 Quote Link to post
chartpolski 27,653 Posted April 26 Author Report Share Posted April 26 A good turn out for a local hunt show. Met up with my pals and enjoyed the craic. Rain kept off and had a great few hours. I think the lurcher judge was corrupt as the local deerhound types went home empty handed ! Just joking, I have great respect for anyone who gives up their time to judge and organise these get togethers Cheers.! 12 Quote Link to post

Enjoy yersel charts I don’t think it’s a load of crap Drove, I met up with friends from around the country who have genuine working dogs and we had a great day. We were out in the countryside with like minded people, the judging was just incidental, we didn’t care about it. It slightly annoys me that people denigrate lurcher shows. Just because we go to the odd show doesn’t mean we are “lesser” dog men, we are just meeting up with like minded people…at least we are not summer hunting and bragging about it on social media, and of course I’m not referring to you, as I know you are a genuine lad……. But live and let live, ehh ? Cheers. 4 Quote Link to post

And I certainly wouldn't judge a dog man on going to shows . Apologies if I offended 1 Quote Link to post
