I came on here to ask a man two things and this is now 3 pages long i cant belive some of things that have been said to me i can now see way a lot of people stay away from these shows . And as for fiona to tell me to get another dog because mine are not good enough this maybe what you do and this may be the reson why so many dog pounds are full of lurchers and lurchers getting sold from one home to another there wholes lives but i would never do this , and i will have you know my dog is well fed i dont know why you would say such a thing .well it looks like my days of racing and showing or ove

Hi forrest gump Its not just weather the dog is running to his owener or running for the lure i seen i dog get hurt because of somone standing at the finsh line last year at shanes castle.just saying would be alot safer to stand at the side line and wait till the dogs had finshed not only that there is a bit of a dip were they race at shanes castle and the dogs lose sight of the lure for a few seconds would hate to see the dogs looking up to find it again to see a man waveing and shouting were there heading for .

Hi dazzam It just seemed like he was the only one doing it . And yes maybe when the show dates are put up for everyone to see maybe the rules shound go up with it so that everyone knows were they stand more so now with everyone doing the whippet racing there own way .

Sammy, Happy to answer the questions as best I can at this time. Firstly the Rosscrea Club are only running the racing and showing at Birr. Matt Lee Snr & Jnr - no relations - are running the events at Ballywalter & Shanes. We have always alllowed club members of the organising club to run their dogs in the racing as the racing is a performance test and not based on personal preference. It is similar to all the other performance related events at our fairs i.e club members of the gundog clubs running the gundog tests can and do enter their dogs ; clay shooters from the orga

HI AIBERT I see that the roscrea club are runnning most of the racing at this years game fairs will they be aloud to race their own dogs like they did in birr i see they won most of the racing that day .you dont see the judges dog in the show ring so why are there dogs aloud to race?.Also the man that won the race at shanes( sorry dont know his name) way is he aloud to leave his dog with a young boy and walk upto the finish line and wave and shout to his dog no one else did why was he aloud? Would be nice if you could answer these few questions. sammy
