AlbertJ 569 Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 (edited) A great result for working dogs at the 22nd All Ireland Terrier & Lurcher Championships at the Irish Game Fair at Shanes Castle when Judge John Humphreys made the winner of the Racing the day before not only Champion Lurcher in the showring but in consultation with terrier Judge Joe Kyrollos made the Lurcher Supreme Champion. Definitely a dog 'fit for purpose'. The double for real working dogs was completed when Joe put up the winner of the entered class as Champion Terrier. Another first was when www.fieldsportschannel.tv covered part of the terrier & lurcher judging for their Fieldsports Britain channel. This can now be viewed on their web site.

Doohan 46 Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 Yes the judging was extremely difficult ALL the Terriers, especially the working class, were of a very high standard! I've put up pictures of the racing & some of the show in "Bluebells" post for those who're interested! Looking forward to Birr, see all there in a more relaxed atmosphere! I'd also like to thank ALL who made me welcome!!! Yours etc. Joe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
