wunwin 0 Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 Totally agree - poor turnout and no atmosphere - nothing like it used to be - i hadnt been for 3 yrs and wont be rushing there again - the lurchers were a joke - too many non workers - cotton buds and baby wipes everywhere - one well known SHOWMAN even gave his dog a herbal tonic to stop her stressing in the ring ! People skipping round the ring like something off Dancing on Ice !! More importantly they are filling the lurcher world with genes from non working show dogs - lets put the money into the small Hunt shows and stop filling the pockets of promoters - £ 3.50 for a bacon roll - £1.50 for a tea !!! I saw someone give a 'herbal tonic' to a dog at chatsworth this year, couldnt believe what i saw really. Has showing got so important to some people that they have to drug their dogs to go well in the ring? Does a rosette mean so much. I thought that the lurcher world was above all that sort of thing? Or is it because you can charge silly money for your pups if the parents have done well in the show ring? Soon we will have 2 strains of lurchers, those who chase and those who ponce about. I pray that this doesnt happen, but with people drugging dogs to show them, whatever next.? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well said, its unfortunate that hunt shows don't get the turnout that they deserve, because their are no BIG titles on offer, which is what folk seem to be after nowaday's! Shame WRONG THE EARTH DOG RUNNING DOG CHAMPIONSHIP AND THE NORTH WALES CHAMPIONSHIPS ARE BOTH PRESTIGIOUS SHOWS TO WIN AND WERE BETTER ATENDED THAN THE MIDLAND Edited September 22, 2009 by gonetoearth Quote Link to post Share on other sites
