first thing you had to do was have lurcher club or in a club at one time there was only two clubs moreland and yeats

 

all members in there own club had to run each other so best dog whent forward then names was put in hat in uk and who ever was drawn out had to qualfy to run in the

Well that's that then lads I guess all those guys who thought they had good sticky dogs for any terrain or across the water were wrong myself included I suppose. I wonder are there any dogs around now that would put a good show on in England for us

any man thinks the have a good dog the only place to test them is on the fen

two things that can happen is you come out smileing or come out very disapointed

But why is this when all us Irish pride ourselves on having over game dogs and then we put the suki through them to make them better have or had we kennel blindness or did our best dogs just not make the boat ?

[jeff20 14]

to make a good dog first you need is top breeding 2nd you need is years of experance 3rd you need a lot of knowledge

 

and i dont think you have that R L

 

but i have seen irish dogs get 4 s 5 big ears

pk bred alot of dogs and alot of mem were running his line and tought they had good ones,now im not starting shit,but this man had a good reputation at the time,and lads were more then happy with them at the time running big rabs in ireland,but these good dogs went to the fens and could not cope with the quarry or terrain,people say owens dogs stashed some say could not run no more for they had notting left in the tank,to me this dogs were not suitable for the fens,there was a bad combination no brains and no wind,

irish dogs no good over here ,they all jacked .i was stood by a gang of irish fellers when irish lady pulled right out in the middle they were stunned .one or two fellers sold a few average english dogs over to ireland for good money but nothing any good ever went over there
