Veteran class for a lurcher should be at least 8 but more like 10 imo , there's plenty of older lurchers still in excellent shape and some what would show some younger ones up in the field ..

winner69

if that club are running the racing il not be at it. they dont no the difference between a lurcher and a greyhound and now a greyhound has won the lurcher race set up for real lurchersto stop cheating

bowersey

Think the same should be said for whippets a 6-7 year old should be in good enough nick to go into the dog or bitch class

Winner - as you can see the racing and show are being run by the Glenbank Working Club under the rules drawn up by the NILRC which were supposed to prevent this sort of controversy. I support the concept of a unified body working to agreed rules but obviously the club is not even a year old and there will inevitably be some teething problems. I suggest you take any complaint to the club and I am sure they will deal with it. I have invited the NILRC to be involved in the grading of dogs for the racing at Shanes and as you can see I have provided good prizes across a range of events to reflect dogs being graded so I would hope that the grading will be fair. In any case the additional classes will open the prize fund up to more people. If there are any problems with anyone racing at Shanes I will be happy to look at it personally - then and there. The judges I have chosen for our events are people who I consider will judge fairly - what happened at other events is not really of concern to me if it did not concern their judging competence.

no classes to represent the irish strong dogs in 1 of if not the biggest show in Ireland

TDD - This is something that is under consideration . I have to say that it is something I have had a lot of discussions about this with a great supporter of strong dogs and someone's whose opinion I value. If you speak to me about this personally I will explain why not this year. You can email me on irishgamefair.com to get my number.

Hi Margaret,

Alberts original post on here states that the Veteran Classes for both terriers and Lurchers are over 8 years old, so I just wanted him to clarify if it was over 8 for the whippets aswell as I assume they will all have to be the same.

Tracy you know as well as I do, we are never asked for 8 year old Dogs in the vetern classes at any of the shows. Maybe Albert will reconsider this . It doesent matter to me, but you will not have to worry about having a big vetern class or even a small one. You will be lucky if you get 3 or 4 dogs. in the class

Tracy/Margaret,

 

Last year we set the age of veteran for lurchers at 8. We didn't have veteran whippets or terriers because no one asked for a class for them! I know the convention in KC shows is 7 but I know from my own experience that dogs which are kept fit can go on to look well and keep their conformation and muscle tone until much older. IMost of my dogs have worked until they are 12/13. I have a golden dog who is 13 and still well muscled and fit - I would be very happy to take him out in a veteran class.

 

However I can see that we could have much greater competition is it was set at the KC definition of 7. Views please?

Matter of intrest Albert in bred shows do the verteran go into the final line up The way I see it if the veteran can mix it up with the working dog and win prehaps there is no need for the veteran class. The veteran winning says little about the quailty of the the younger dogs after all all 7 year old is not going to be as fit strong and as toned as the younger examples of the bred.

In breed shows veteran and puppy both go into Best of Breed but for puppies we have decided to give them their own championship. I think veteran should go into Best Of Breed or Champion Whippet challenge.

      The Tally Ho Dog Show and Raceday Saturday 3rd May 2025
      By appleblossom
      The Tally Ho Dog Show and Raceday Saturday 3rd May 2025
      As 7am on Saturday morning 3rd May 2025 rang out loud and clear in our house, I crawled out of bed and thanked god for allowing me another day on this beautiful landscape of ours called the Emerald Isle. With the joys of spring in my heart, Mr Fox away on his summer holidays, the work in the field completed for another season, it was show time again on this side of our Island. 
      Suddenly the seasons were telling me it was Tally Ho show time of the year again and time to get our Canine friends in the show ring and on the race course, for the start of the summer Dog show and Race Days schedule. 
      Some of us have had joyous occasions in our families since the last showing season, and some of us may have had great sadness, as fate can throw all sorts of problems in the pathway of life. As we dusted ourselves down after our winter woes, Saturday was a day to leave all our cares of yesterday behind and head to Crumlin for  the Tally Ho  annual dog show and race day.  And what a days enjoyment with our loyal Canine friends that was.
      The weather was beautiful, but tinged with an east wind that would cut you in two. As we approached the field, we could see very clearly there was very little parking space left. Each year this show grows bigger and better. Peter Morgan being the caring gentleman he is made sure he kept a parking space for the now 2 senior citizens and of which we were very grateful. 
      By midday the field was full to capacity.  In the show rings there was a big turnout and a great mix of top quality dogs in all categories. 22 races and 28 children in child handling class.
      As I moved around the rings, I met up with some old friends and some new ones too. Michael Reilly travelled up all the way from Tipperary. Yapper Hayes came up from Kilkenny and Stephanie O Connor and family and Mc Grath Family travelled up from Carlow.  All great doggie people and support every show and race day North and South of the border.
      Stands were situated around the show ground. Paul Boyd with loads of canine supplies/ Alannah Harpur and her sister with some beautiful Tea Shirts and Mugs and Mary Kate Quinn was there with her amazing art work . What an interesting and talented lady to speak to. There was a burger stand on site and 4 toilets dotted all around the field.
      Our children as usual were well cared for by the Tally Ho show organiser Peter Morgan, both in the ring and outside it. Two bouncy castles were on site and inside the ring were trophys, medals and big bags of sweets for every child. A real childrens paradise. Some sleepy we people on Saturday night.
      Time waits for nobody. The moment had arrived after the long cold winter to get our Canine friends out of the field and into the show ring and on the Race course. 
      Here are the Showing Results

      And finally to the helpers on the day, Conor Creagh, Ash Coyle, Kodi Coyle and Anthony Mc Dowell your contribution to the success of the show was invaluable and many thanks.
      And Finally, Finally, I always leave the best to last. I must not forget the man at the helm of this top show day. Peter Morgan your hospitality, excellent show and race day, magnificent trophies and prizes, your generosity  knows no bounds. I can honestly say our lives have been enriched with the excellent work and enjoyment you give to many families North and South of the border through your dog show on the day. 
      Peter we all look forward to your shows as they brighten up our darkest days and brings us away from the trials and tribulations of life, if only for a day. Your show is a credit to you for a one man band, along with all the time and energy you put into them to give us all a great days enjoyment.
      Thank you for your friendship over the years and please do not stop running your shows. Yours in Country Sports to we meet again, God Bless.
