grewgirl 0 Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 (edited) Why is it that if you have a David Hanncock lurchers with its ear- tattooed, they don't get picked to win any shows. It always seem that show dogs get picked over worked dogs. WHY DO ALL JUDGES GO FOR SALUKIES/ Edited March 13, 2008 by grewgirl Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Border Terrier 0 Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 I wouldnt think anyone would actually know your dog was off those lines unless you told them? ear tattooes shouldnt make a difference to how the dog is judged, perhaps the reason your dog is not doing well in shows is because its not racy enough? collie crosses dont usually do well in shows unless they have more sighthound in them than collie. Does it really matter? if your dogs agood worker then who cares what a judge thinks? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mars 42 Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 (edited) As much as i like going to shows for me they are just a day out, Time to unwind and relax and to be nosey at other people`s dogs, if the judge should pick my dog out then so be it, if they dont, then who cares, I Know that on the end of the lead i`me holding i`ve got one hell of a dog that does all i ask of her. She happend to win Champion Bull X the other weekend, but i`de still have had a good day out if she had`nt And as for not picking dogs that show signs of work, i think your wrong their too, Or do you think it might be the way i look that they picked my bitch on that day, Yis Mars. Edited to ad, My beef about shows is, why are Bull crosses judged seperatly from other Lurchers ? mine does all the work that any other lurcher does and probably a bit more than most, In fact i can think of only 1 show where she`s been in the Champ class at the end of the day and thats Peover, Edited March 13, 2008 by Mars Quote Link to post Share on other sites

polecat 1 Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 in answer to your question i find that most folks dont pick hancock dogs becuse of his association with the late david brian plummer as most fock dont like puppy peddlers and there freinds Quote Link to post Share on other sites
borntohuntfuktheban 0 Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 i think it is because saluki lurchers are the most common now but hancocks lurchers are spectacular. i have a saluki lurcher and it is a stunner and im hopin to win a few shows this year good luck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
