  1. I assume the Veteran whippet can also go in to challenge for the whippet championship as this has been missed out again in the wording this year. Surely it should read "Championship from unbeaten whippets other than pairs or puppy. Puppy goes forward to the puppy championships." as it does with the lurchers and terriers.
  2. Only 4 classes for whippets this year? No veteran or pairs class, as in previous years?
  3. Thanks for posting the classes but have to admit that I am disappointed to see that you have a class for veteran lurchers but not for the whippets :-( or infact the terriers! Would it not be fairer to have a veteran class in all the rings?

  5. Any veteran classes this year so we can show our oldies please? Have had a few people asking! I'd love a veteran whippet class and and a friend was asking if you were having a veteran strong dog class?
  6. Would I be correct in assuming The Champion of Champion Pups will be judged by their respective judges in the same order as the adults are listed in the programme of events - ie. Terrier Pups followed by Lurcher Pups followed by Whippet Pups ? Before the 3 judges then choose the overall champion pup? Also do those entered need to register at the Game Fair H.Q on arrival at the game fair ?
  7. Looking forward to all the events Will there be any parking specifically delegated for those with dogs entered in the whippet/ terrier/ lurcher/ puppy championships? We have several dogs qualified in 3 of the different events, as I am sure others may have. if it is a warm day and parking is too far away from the main arena I am just wondering how the exhibtors will manage?
  8. Albert / Kieran my understanding of the 'Puppy Champion Qualifiers' is that it is only pups that have won 'Overall Champion Pup' at each show that qualify, not the winning 3 pups ie : lurcher pup / whippet pup and terrier pup, from each of the shows. Can you please Clarify whether this is correct as some people I have spoken to seem a little unsure?
  9. I have been asked to post the following information on behalf of the newly formed All Ireland Lurcher, Whippet and Terrier Club. The main office bearers are as follows: Chairman: Micky Quinn Vice Chairman: Glen Doherty Secretary: Brian Crothers Treasurer: Dessie Mackin The club will be holding a show in the future and anyone interested in becoming a member please contact any of the officers, either on Facebook or at any of the shows coming up.
  10. John, just wondering if you know you have a list of your show classes and race categories yet? Looking forward to the show as I missed it last year and heard lots of good reports about it , hope you have plenty of whippet classes ?
  11. Tom was just wondering if you will be having a veteran whippet class? (I think you usually do?) Don't want to bringing any 'oldies' if there isn't a class for them so thought I'd check with you first ......thanks in advance.
  12. couple of questions ....... (1) Can you confirm if the All Ireland Champion Whippet from the showing on Saturday qualifies for the 5 Nations Whippet Championship on the Sunday? (I would assume they would?) (2) How are the race heats (in each of the categories) going to be organised? Will dogs be numbered as they are booked in and the numbers be drawn out to see who races against who in each of the heats?.....surely this would be the fairest way to do it and would avoid any arguments about who is matched against who, and if 1 owner has 2 or more dogs in the same heat so be it - it's t
  13. sounds like a great day, sorry we couldn't make it. Who were the judges?
