wexford Pa 84 Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 take it u didnt get any rosettes then fox hunter?.. Seriously tho i thought the Lurcher judge was spot on at the terrier judge was a joke, he picked out a jack russell in 1 of the heats that i wouldnt let in me back yard never mind own n it got 1st.. The day a wash out, seen 1 van bein pulled out by a tractor, but i thought it was decent show wit some nice dogs on show, sadly some wasnt noticed by the judges..

Didnt go up sunday because as you say it was a wash out so cant comment on judging but was told the lurcher judge was ok ! i know what you mean mate i see the little black greyhound wins again in the under 23" lurcher racing at Birr, when will they make john get a DNA test done on china. and so i hear just about everyone over in Ireland on the racing seen are sure its a greyhound but wont do anything about it i wonder why, and he is still aloud to come to England and race it as well, when there are the same feelings here too, about the little black greyhound. WHY OH WHY you tell me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WHY OH WHY you tell me. If you are prepared to accuse, you have to be prepared to prove, even in the eyes of the law the accuser has to furnish proof, so it's not up to John to have the dog DNA tested, there was a bit of bother a while back with a whippet greyhound racing in whippet classes, point there was that the owner had already told most people what way the dog was bred so hadn't a leg to stand on. It's not good sport if the dog in question is a pure greyhound, in fact it's out and out cheating, but how do you prove it?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
