Rip Joe Irving

[Jimy1971 13]

Just read that Joe Irving has passed away after after a long illness. A true genius where dog training is concerned. A huge loss and a true gent. May he rest in peace.

I worked with Joe for three years, in a local Hospital, where we were both nurses.

He certainly was a character.

We also fished together a few times, I remember Joe and I working a ward on night shift, just the two of us, WhenJjoe produced his new book, There Learning Chain. Joe tried to sell me the book at full money.

And put in the following, if ye buy it, i will also sign it, which i thought was a cracker, coming from someone who had worked with me, and as I say fished together.

Joe was also a very good artist, at the time I used to Badger him to draw my Whippet X Bedlington,typical Joe, always promised, but never got round to it.

He will be sadly missed.
