My personal opinion is that the judging this year was not up to scratch , . i do not know if anybody noticed but in the rustle dogs class a bitch was entered and called out ?? cmon here its not that hard to tell the difference between a dog and a bitch .

Do you mean the child who entered her bitch into the dog class and was asked to wait to the bitch class. Surely that's not a reflection on the judge

I know for a fact that the terrier judge knows how spell RUSTLE? as he's head honcho in the Scottish branch of the Jack RUSSELL Terrier Club of Great Britain.

Predictive text maybe ?

Either way your comment had nothing to do with the question. Is there any truth in this ? If so I find it hilarious : ))

No truth in it, Dessie got 1st and 2nd in Russel dog class, my dog got 3rd. They were all dogs. There was a wee girl walked into the ring with a bitch and was asked to wait to the bitch class. I'm guessing that's what he's referring to, which has nothing to do with the standard of judging.

[MUDD 374]

Do well, I just pmsl reading that though.

I'd like to know why there was a seperate class for dogs and bitches in the russells and none for the lakelands ?

You lot would moan about the length of grass or the amount of precipitation in the air FFS!

Salukilurchers, In the dog class, a wee girl came into the ring with her dog and was asked to wait untill the following class as she had got mixed up. In the bitch class I then presented her with a special rosette that the steward had as extras for kids. The wee girl was over the moon because she had been presented with this rosette. No one complained to the bairn getting a rosette in front of them. Did you also notice that I put out two pups from the show. One was 11 weeks old and the other was 13 weeks old. Both of these owners were told by myself to go and collect their money back from the steward as i would not be touching their pups. Reason being was that if i had been unlucky enough to pick anything up from another dog, I would not want to have passed it onto a small pup. When i explained this to the owners they were most understanding and left happily. Now, throughout the whole day of judging there was not anyone complained to me or to anyone else that i was doing ought wrong so i can only presume that folk enjoyed the day.

Although i do not have to justify myself to you i will say that i have kept Russells for over thirty years and as well as being secretary for the JRTCGB Scottish region, I have run terrier and lurcher shows for Fife foxhounds as well as being terrierman to this pack for over twenty of these years. I do feel that all this gives me a wee bit of knowledge to use when judging a show. yours in sport Del.

P.S. BPR, The grass was a tad long too lol.

I trust no dogs or handlers were too traumatised by this shocking incident?

Derek,

 

We normally cut the grass but with the weather forecasted and accurate we did not risk it. At Ballywalter the lurcher track and rings were cut twice and rolled four times. Not quite like a billiard table but as good as we could make it.

this is all getting out of hand all this bitching slagging others of this judge done this the other done that its a show a thing we are ment to enjoy and the judges should be given a wee bit of respect they traveled over here to judge out of the the love for there choisen breed after all this that has went on over the weekend whos ever gonna put them selfs fordword to judge are shows again

i myself have judged afew time now and its no easy task i for one would never judge again if i was treated the way these men have been its a joke in my eyes the whippet judge done a cracking job on the day with a very good standered of dog

 

ive been going to shows now for going on 15 years from the first ones in shanes castle ran by the mid antrim terrier lurcher club and in my eyes the lurcher and terrier seen has went to the dog that much so i dont think ill be at another
