A warm invitation is extended to Scots with working dogs to come and compete in the 25th All Ireland Terrier & Lurcher Championships at our 50th Irish Game Fair at Shanes Castle on the 7th & 8th July. All competitions except the Master Mc Grath Final are open to all and the prizes are unrivalled in either Scotland or Ireland. With special ferry & accommodation rates available why not try for an All Ireland Racing Title on the Saturday or an All Ireland Show Title on the Sunday. The lurcher champion goes forward to the Five Nations Championships at our other fair at Birr Castle, Co Offaly on the 26th August where the top prize has a value of over €1,500.

 

And for Shanes Castle we even have a full team of SCOTTISH judges!

For details of Ferry & accommodation rates and special ticket concessions for two days email me at irishgamefair@btinternet.com

I have'nt been keeping track Albert can you confirm whippets are K C only As it would be a shame for the peds to come over from Scotland to race non KC

 

Pedigree Whippets will have their own race - KC registration or pedigree must be shown.

albert i dont mean to hi jack this post but this will not really make a blind bit of diffrence you would be better asking for both pedigree as im sure there are plenty of people with pedigree papers of diffrent dogs of similer age type and color i hope people will be truthfull on the day and just to add i belive the popularity of the whippet has afacted it as a breed with people breeding for all the wrong reasons im seeing more and more substandered whippets about with very poor hind quarters and as for the working abilty the ones ive seen of late i would not have them about me thats why im without a whippet at the minute i cant find a suitable pup with the qualitys i desire

 

all the best robert
