Blackbriar 8,569 Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 (edited) I went to a couple of lurcher and terrier shows recently, and thoroughly enjoyed them. I may even have found a new interest, but a couple of questions occurred to me...... If I wanted to enter a lurcher in a show, does he/she have to be intact, or are neutered dogs allowed ? Secondly, do you have to show any breeding history or information ? Apologies for asking dumbass beginners questions, but we were all beginners once...... Cheers BB Edited June 9, 2015 by Blackbriar Quote Link to post
trenchfoot 4,243 Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 doesnt matter if the dog is neutered or not. Breeding information is not essential, but type maybe ; eg bullx in a bull x class etc. If you dont know the breeding, make it up if you like. most breeders do anyway At the end of the day, its just a beauty contest, where you pay a £ for somebodies opinion 2 Quote Link to post

Blackbriar 8,569 Posted June 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 I can see how it could get a bit 'clicky', but I just thought for a bit of fun, where's the harm ? And its another excuse to go to a show.... Quote Link to post
dytkos 17,793 Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 Lot of judges I've seen over the last few years wouldn't know one end of a dog from the other, and I don't go shows very often? Cheers, D. 2 Quote Link to post

Bosun11 537 Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 Shows, a great bit of summer fun that gives hunting folk the chance to both meet old friends and new. What happens in the ring is almost immeterial, as, just like the judge, we all have an opinion of the best dog. Quote Link to post
mattyg 1,862 Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 I showed my young un this year at kelmarsh (bit of fun and socialisation) and while all the other folk were contorting their dogs into daft statuesque positions Fred just dug holes, ate grass and generally pricked about! Highly trained you see! Matt 6 Quote Link to post
Moorside 642 Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Ive always found if I show any of my dogs be it a terrier or lurcher I get nowt......However if my 23 yr old blond mrs is holding the lead they miraculously end up with a rosette.....Strange ay. 4 Quote Link to post
