Best show I've been to in years , weather was spot on , and there were some cracking looking terriers and lurchers , only problem ,it were a bit steep £8 per adult , and £3 per kid , but I only go to a couple a year so wasn't to bad ?

[wulf 32]

Right just to clear a few things up here. I rang Ron earlier in the year to ask whether the plummer club could put a class on with their own ring at the show. He said he wasnt doign the open show anymore so if i did the open show i could get the plummers on as well.

 

I have never ran a dog show before let alone one of this size - i asked plenty of questions to ron before hand but sometimes you cant cover all bases before hand and only experience teaches you things, as it was with the show. Got chucked right in at the deep end!

 

Fair enough i hold my hand up with the programs, i had them in the car a few days before the show, then the missus took them out of the car when she borrowed it and i forgot to put them back in and take them with me to the show. Hold my hand up to that one.

 

With the bitch in the dog class, the lad with the dog made a genuine mistake, the judge realised but didnt want to make the lad feel crap by booting him out the ring so he ignored it. These things happen, doubt theres a show been put on where some error hasn't occured.

 

Alli why do you always have to bring plummers in to it. What difference does it make what dog i keep to how i run a dog show. I know who you are from seeing your pics on the forum and was nothing but polite to you and your wife (or gf?) when you entered your dogs in the classes.

 

Seems like a lot of people take the showing side of things way too seriously.

 

Anyway the judges for the lurchers are from further down south and they commented that we have some cracking lurchers up in this neck of the woods.

I HAVENT GOT A CLUE WHO YOU ARE WOLF OR THE DOGS YOU KEEP. I BROUGHT THE NAME PLUMMER INTO IT BECAUSE THE GUY YOU HAD JUDGING THE LURCHERS IN THE OPEN SHOW IS A PLUMMER BREEDER BIG TIME, SO THE LOGIC BEHIND MY COMMENT IS SIMPLE, HE WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER JUDGING THE PLUMMERS INSTEAD OF THE LURCHERS SOMTHING HE NOWS SOMTHING ABOUT, APART FROM YOUR MISINTERPITION OF MY EARLIER COMMENT I THOUGHT THE SHOW WAS A BIG SUCCESS EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS NO PROGRAMS LOL, ALSO I CAN SAY I WAS POLITE TO EVERY PERSON I SPOKE. ALL I CAN SUGGEST TO YOU IS JUST CHILLAX A BIT :yes:
