Rat face 1,655 Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 I'm not a show person but when to one or two but what surprised me the most is how stupid people turning up with dogs that are smashed to bits some the dogs I wouldn't travel in car with never mind walk around a show Usually the Welsh lads haha AtYeeep lol I had to look twice at the one couldn't believe it was thereTaking 'well worked' dogs to a show wouldn't be everyones cup of tea. For me, i'm very glad they do, and come to our show. Because its real workers I love to see! I was at a well known terrier club show this year an the judges was not picking any dogs with signs of any work. And the lurcher judge said to a bull x owner out right im not picking any dogs with scars on! Quote Link to post

Rabbit Hunter 6,613 Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 (edited) Who cares if your dog wins or not. Its a show FFS. I honestly couldn't care if another man didn't think my dog was 'good looking', I'd happily show a dog and if it didn't win then who cares. That's not the reason we keep them.

Pick and bar 381 Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 There was a time when we met up, went digging, had a bonanza and then went the show!! Judge of the day would have been there ! No doubting workers or jackers then. Hmmm! Happiness. 3 Quote Link to post

Pick and bar 381 Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 Wonderful! No more a worker than in the winter. Often more. We often struggled to get em shampooed and combed out, fluffed up and sorted, before the first class. 2 Quote Link to post

eastcoast 4,081 Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 The subject of terriers being entered into the ring showing signs of recent work brings to mind the annual shows of DNWTC from years ago. The venue was Shotley Bridge club. A nature reserve next door. Badgers lived in the reserve. Before the British badger became the most protected life form on the planet, more protected even than the young of human beings. At the AGM one year the Chairman asked if members would try and desist from visiting the reserve with their terriers before the classes started as he was starting to receive complaints regarding this. 6 Quote Link to post
pablo esc 1,598 Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 I know good dogs were sought after and more so after his black dogs then the white russels but did good ones die off ? Long time ago Quote Link to post
eastcoast 4,081 Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 Pablo, I believe Mr Gould registered his white dogs with the KC when the Parsons were accepted. I don't know the man and not pretending that I do, but I'm sure this was the case. 2 Quote Link to post
