chartpolski 23,471 Posted September 5, 2022 Report Share Posted September 5, 2022 I've only been to three local hunt shows this year and the winners, and majority of entrants, appeared to be of whippet size and appearance. Nothing wrong with that of course, but is smaller types becoming a trend ? Cheer. Quote Link to post
terryd 8,411 Posted September 5, 2022 Report Share Posted September 5, 2022 They look stunning the old bull crosses with a good shine sure do take a lovely picture. Hope you have a great season. Regarding smaller types I deliberately aimed for a smaller dog this time around at about hopefully 22 inch. Just no need for any thing bigger for what I want and may fly under the radar better. 1 Quote Link to post

A good run would of brought it to some harm. That would probably be the over 26" class. Be interesting to see the overall champ. I had my tickets and vehicle pass but something came up at the last minute so couldn't make it. Cheers. Quote Link to post

Then classes for the day done . This was after 4pm so prob won the over 26 class on the day. Just my opinion but a terrible example everything exaggerated and or weak looking ? As much use as hanging out the window wi a bow saw Quote Link to post
chartpolski 23,471 Posted September 5, 2022 Report Share Posted September 5, 2022 It used to be the open show, then the cock of the north, and the winner of the open show went into the cock of the north. I did that with Delta one year, but now it's the cock of the north first then the open show for some reason. And the classes have changed, now it's up to 23" and over 23". I think the lurcher show changed after Ron Hodgson stopped running it. I know he upset some of the "professional " showers and judges. Cheers. Quote Link to post
