dennned 172 Posted May 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Saturday's show was good, Good to see you there Den, Yesterdays show was crap. Should have went to Dunns. If you had a brindle dog, you had a chance. Prefer your Judging, you are constructive not negative. Me and Jimmy had a good conversation about that, all good Den. meant to say. Good advice you gave. My Bull x won and may go to the nationals. Thanks. glad i could help , hope you do well at the nationals too ----atb den Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FightTheBan 1,147 Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 I'm with foxgun Tom on this one. Was a great show at Nielston with some decent lads turning out. Nielston is the only 'working' terrier show I ever attend. And as for the ladies toilet situation, entry fee was £1 - what do you expect. I was with a lass all day and she never said it was an issue.

kevinyo01 4 Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Fair enough Tam. I know the lad judging didn't have any brindles, but enough comments were made with regards the amount that was picked. I had one that was picked, fairs fair. there was a lot of tiger stripes being picked. think about it. On the Toilet, I am sure there was a risk assesment made with regards running the show and the public liability Insurance was paid. This would help with the injuries that could have happened if someone got hurt falling down the hill whilst they were squating. there is no prizes for not following to Health and Safety procedure for holding events. It's not about the lack of complaints it's all about Health and Safety. I've said my peice on it and aint saying anymore. Just pointing out some things. No need to get uptight and angry about it.

chartpolski 23,261 Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 Just a comment on the brindle/judge subject; I've seen the lad judge a couple of times, and think he is an honest judge who genuinely works his own dogs, unlike a lot of judges. Yes there were a few brindle dogs winning, including two of mine, but looking around the show there seemed to be an awful lot of brindles around, more than usual, and some very nice examples. I can't see how the judge was baised when he gave a very nice light fawn dog the puppy championship, (deservedly), over my brindle bitch. No complaints about the judging or the show from me. Cheers.

wild rover 548 Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 Most clubs including the NLRC make more money at shows from non working lurcher and terrier owners than they do from working dog people. Thats the reason we run shows to make money for our clubs and to promote the dogs, there is room for both, shows are beauty shows and a part from knowing the owners its not easy to decide what works and what doesnt and to what level. Also something that doesnt get mentioned is that a greater amount of non workers supported our cause against the hunting bans north and south of the border than many working dog owners, a lot i spoke to said they werent bothered they would continue to work dogs, ban or no ban, so lets not forget that. Working dog owners have their own circle of friends and breed from working stock to produce workers, the show people do their thing to meet their needs, so its not a case of inferior working dogs being bred. The fact is that if all lurcher and terrier owners worked their dogs, there would be less game for those of us that do. Live and let live, and we all make mistakes, give the NLRC the benefit of hindsight and hope lessons are learned, because they also like other clubs do a lot of good work.
