This years field will be located beside last years but is a bigger field for a longer racing\ simulated coursing run. The winning dogs of each race class will then compete on a shorter 150 yd run for the Master Magrath qualifier. It has also been suggested to split the smooth under and over show classes into dog and bitch classes. Not sure if the class sizes warrant the under and over rough dog/ bitch classes to be separated. Anybody any opinions?

Hey Poppy just wondering is the show a qualifier for any of the English championships this year again? Sorry Fiona, no English qualifiers this year. There is though qualifiers for the Five Nations Lurcher Championship and the Master Magrath Lurcher Race. I will try to remind him early next year to sort out a few other qualifiers

Shows up - Date Thursday 8th March 12

Thanks for adding Dessie's show Margaret. His show on the 12th May is a qualifier for both the Master McGrath and Five Nations, we'll have more details up soon -
Rather than deciding on a particular breed, maybe concentrate on looking a dog of good working stock. Whippets are great wee rabitting dogs but more recently seem to come with inflated price tags. Most whippet cross lurchers will be small enough in size for you and will do the same job. IMO whippets can be quite stubborn, so maybe not ideal for a first dog if your not getting great advice. Good luck in whatever you decide to get

Dessie had said on the other thread that he would have classes for strong dogs as there was a bit of interest. Just wondering if many people are planning to enter a strong dog on the day. The classes are never very big in the summer and it would be nice to get a bit of a turnout of them, most people knows somebody with a staff, maybe spread the xmiss cheer and encourage them to come along.

Is there any chance the 5 nations would be repeated for the terriers again? Maybe on alternite years with the lurchers
