Chid

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.

      A TRIBUTE TO THE LATE JIMMY SCOTT, A TOP DOGGIE MAN IN OUR COUNTRY SPORTS FRATERNITY, WHO LEFT THIS WORLD ON Christmas Day.
      By appleblossom
      A TRIBUTE TO THE LATE JIMMY SCOTT, A TOP DOGGIE MAN IN OUR COUNTRY SPORTS FRATERNITY, WHO LEFT THIS WORLD ON Christmas Day.   I Am Free Do not grieve for me now my friends and family, I am free. I am following the path God Laid for me. I took his hand when I heard him call, I turned my back and left it all.   I could not stay another day to show, to live , to hunt, to fish or play. I found my peace at close of day. Be not burdened with this time of sorrow I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. Perhaps my time seemed all to brief. Do not lengthen it now with undue grief.   Lift up your hearts my friends and share with me. God wanted me now, He set me free.   From all in Country Sports Margaret Mc Stay
