I phoned a certain wee mustelid at about 9am (knowing he was leaving a good bit earlier than me) to ask what the weather was like down there (as I was roasty-toasty in bed looking out at a rather grey wet morning) The reply was an optimistic "Once you get about half-way down it dries up nicely" :whistle: Cue Misty springing out of bed, grabbing the deerhound x, camera bag and flask o coffee and exiting stage right Never mind, a good day in the end as the sun popped out for the final Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Top Chalker Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 A deerhound breeder pics a deerhound x to win , was it worth anyone without a deerhound x turning up , did the judge breed the winner, still its a nice stamp of a dog>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I love a good old lurcher show........................ :11: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mistwalker 0 Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 I s'pose a lurcher show is just that - a show, where the judge chooses the dog which appeals most to him/ her, the dog, which he/she looks at and thinks "That dog would suit me, the ground I hunt on and the type of quarry I hunt". As we are all aware, a lurcher is a type not a breed and can look like anything from a pure greyhound to a half melted welly, so as such, there are no breed standards (no KC to spoil them? wahay! ) to compare against. If the dog looks the best to the judge on the day, that's the way it goes. My wife recently entered one of my dogs in a show and was placed 3rd, according to Mrs Misty this is cos "He doesn't know anything about lurchers" I had to explain that when you enter a dog in a show, you are merely asking for the judges opinion of your dog, that's all. I don't fancy his job, as there were loads of very nice dogs there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MATTI 34 Posted September 30, 2006 Report Share Posted September 30, 2006 In the 3rd picture down i think there look's like some dissapointed deerhoundx owner's, maybe they did'nt know that judge as well as some other's they do? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
