The North Down Lurcher & Terrier Club (Working Dog Show) Charity Event


Recommended Posts

It's not always possible to have a pan flat track and as i've already said anyone on a nights lambing wouldn't have hesitated to run their dogs in that field. As you have explained you had to run the racing they way in which you did as the finish would have been too close to the road had you run it the other way.

 

Also heard a lot of positive comments on the day as to how well the trophy marquee/tent was laid out. :)

Leanne.i wouldn't be worried about the crap some people like to waffle on here,talk is cheep. You and many others have at least done some thing positive to promote fieldsports and have had the balls to run your own show. These people who constantly pick holes in others efforts have nothing constructive to offer hunting nor have they the balls to try and run a show themselves .In fact you'll find these same people are the ones that turn up at a show and the most important thing they bring is a case of beer and an empty head. Your show, like all the other shows around the country show hunting and our love of hunting in a good light. And the sausage heads hiding behind a computer screen under a false name show that we don't really need to worry about anti blood sports activists because these morons do as much damage from within our ranks. Its easy to sit on your arse and give out negative remarks, harder to get off your arse and make a change. Well done on a well run event that was inclusive for ALL!!!!!!!!

Leanne,

 

I can confirm that Irene sent you a croosed cheque for sponsorship - she's the banker in our house and business! I offered the sponsorship to try to help defuse the potential ill feeling over a clash of shows but was delighted it was going to a good cause. Well done on raising money for a charity that does good work and is close to Irene's heart. If we are all still here again next year we will support you again.

Jackpot. i asked appleblossom to post nothing up on this bar the write up. as theres to many people on this stickin the knife in when u do put something up. if you would like to see all results and pictures and how much wee raised for charity go on the group north down lurcher terrier club on facebook. all will be on that and any other info on it contact me my numbers already on this. Just to add when u do want to get on the group send request to join and any crap your off. thanks leanne......

 

That is correct , and I went with Leannes wishes. Anybody that does anything at all for charity deserves never ending praise. Leanne you ran a great show great trophys and for a great cause, You dont have to advertise the proceeds on every site in the land. Autism charities need help, and you certainly played your part for this very worthy cause. You and all your show goers and sponsors, have helped to make some little persons path in life a little easier, You have a heart of gold Well done Leanne, we are all very proud of you.

      The DWTC Traditional Dog Show Sunday 25thMay 2025
      As the showing season has now took off for 2025 and the work in the field complete, it was nice to be able to make our annual trip to the DWTC traditional dog show on Sunday  25th May  in Gilford.  The weather  was not kind to us, with a light wind and several heavy showers in between  classes. This did not dampen the spirits of the show goers who came out to support this now popular annual show. The venue was superb, and the crowd was big. 
      Our shows are all great meeting places in the summer season for genuine Terrier, Lurcher, Whippet and Strong dog men and women to come together for a bit of craic  and a chat, and maybe go home with a trophy or two. And that is exactly what happened at the DWTC show on Sunday.
      It was nice to see so many families, their children and dogs all out on enjoying a day out at the sport we love. Our passion is showing with our Canine friends in the summer and back to the field with them in the winter.
      As show time was about to start, first on the menu and first in the ring was the childrens handling class. And boy did these little folk show their dogs. There were 24 very excited we people in the ring and everyone with their very special friend. You were all winners on the day and all went home with bags of lovely goodies to munch on. Well done to all.
      The show commenced at approximately 1.00pm.
      *Here are the Overall Showing Results
      Childrens Handling Class
      1/ Jake Maginn with Fly
      2/ Amy Whitten with Snoopy
      3/ John Boyd with Jack
      These young people participating are our huntsmen and women of tomorrow and will keep our Country Sports going long after we have gone.
      Congratulations to the winners and all the children in the ring on Sunday.

      And Finally, Finally, I always leave the best to last. Yes Tom and Leanne Barry, Ethan, Morgan, and your back up team Gary Mitchell and Thomas Coleman, you are all simply the best. Your show was run with impeccable organisation and everything ran without a hitch.
      It was very evident a lot of preparation and hard work went on behind the scenes to make this show a success this year again and was a most enjoyable day for everyone.  
      Tom and Leanne, a brilliant day was had by all despite the rain. The window for Country Sports is in our blood and hopefully we will meet again at your show in 2026 for more of the same.
