wirral countryman 2,110 Posted July 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 G.T.E the standard of both terrier and lurchers was the best I've been to this year and we'll certainly be back next year,Stig,the lakies were very popular in the championship show,out of a field of about 30 terriers they were reduced to 9 before reducing again to 5 and all them were very showie lakies,in todays modern climate with the anti's and RSPCA etc you are not seeing smashed up dogs so the working side at shows has to suffer,not like llangollen in the 80's with freshly dug to dogs being shown,those days are gone forever I think,atb,WM Quote Link to post Share on other sites
