well i got a new toy

[Guest markbrick1]

If folk want to enter then enter, if not then dont.........and the ranks of those who would of beaten the winner, well, thems that actually give a feck are allready in the competition.

 

You may all just as well be lure coursing IMHO............because at night, in the field, its all about the hunt and all else is bollocks.

 

Have fun...........

well somthing we agree on mark

[socks 32,253]

max i was taking it as a bit of a fun comp and leaving the guys that are involved to crack on and do what they wanted and win or lose hopefully it would be a fun comp .....

 

what i do take exception to is comments like this from longdogrunner

 

..... Tomo mate i think the lack of entries to the comp show what faith people have in their dogs abilities.............. at least mark has the balls to be in it, unlike the majority of this site!!!

 

and as i said earlyer just because i have no intention of running my dog in this or any other competition doesnt mean i have no faith in my dog ... it just means i dont want to run in any comps ... end of really .........

 

as for the shit hole of britain comment ... if it aint in wales it is a shit hole ..........

 

now as for the lamping scoring how are you going to do that ??? will the dogs be marked on observation of quarry ??? and if so how long do you allow before you start deducting points ? then there comes the question of terrain will that be taken into considiration ??? will the taking of squaters be more points than a running rabbit ??? what if a squatter takes off before the dogs lifts it ? does that then change the point scoring ??? what if the dog misses the squatter and it then turns into a run does the dog lose points for missing or get points for a brilliant run and catch ??? how do you score the run ??? the quicker the catch the more points ? or the better the strike and catch ? what about the retrieve ? points lost for a slow retrieve ? mouthing the rabbit ? putting down and picking up again ? not coming straight to hand ? the state of the rabbit at the end of the retrieve IE crushed bruised etc .....

 

these are just a few off the top of my head and these are things that people WILL contsest on the night ... and thats why i honestly believe that the so called friendly competition will be anything but ... people are naturally competitive and more so when our dogs are involved ...........

 

 

Your entire post socks shows you aint read anything to do with the competition.....if you had, you'd know exactly how we plen to run it as its set out in A B C format mate....... and as for singleing me out as slagging your faith in your dogs, i dont think you've ever been mentioned anywhere have you........... never thought you were part of the paranoid/everyones against me brigade!!!!!!!!!

 

At least you'll be able to join the ranks who say they'd have beaten the dogs in the final when it happens.........

 

i certainly aint paranoid mate ... infact i couldnt give a flying feck what you or anybody else thinks about me ...... as for joining ranks ... i have never ever bragged my dog up and said she would have won this if she entered or that if she entered ... to be honest there is no way she would win any lamping comp she is a collie mungrel whos is a half decent ferreting dog nothing more and that suites me just fine .............

I never said you did brag about your dog socks, thats why i was surprised when you jumped to the defensive about doubting your dog..... have a look at the post it was geared more towards the people that brag all year long and then went silent when they had the chance to enter into the spirit of things......... ............. i also didnt say you have said your dog would win.......i was making reference to the fact that come the end of the competition when the DVD is out, there's bound to be people saying they'd have won had their dog been in it......at the end of the day mate, you jumped in on a post being all defensive saying i'd basically called your dogs abilities and trying to belittle a competition you aint even read about...... when in reality thats not the case i never mentioned you or your dog anywhere at all???...... .....that would be considered paranoid by some....... ........ personally i dont give a shit about anyones dogs, mine do fine for me and thats what counts...........people wanted a competition and nobody wanted the grief of organising it as its been too much hassle in the past, so i thought i'd get one going for people that wanted in......funny really cos the people that seem unhappiest about it going ahead are the people that aint even entered..................

i dont even know why i got involved in this thread i have no intention of entering i dont want to enter never will want to enter any competition with my bitch ... good luck to all that have entered and may your dogs be injury free at the end of it ........

[Guest markbrick1]

socks over the yrs and all the silly comments over the internet,surely you cant beleave my dogs only run rabbits in little green fields nice and flat,if that was true i wouldnt be entering any competion beleave me because i wouldnt be inpressed if my dogs failed me badly,mark........................now cp socks has one point and like you iam in this for fun and £50 to run is feck all but if its alternative slips there should be some minimum time inbetween are the judge should pick the rabbit just a thought i wont be getting into the rules the rules are the rules for everyone but its about nus in the back not walking around waiting while the other person picks his wabbit

i DONT think the judge should pick the rabbit but the judge should have the final say in hurrying the competitor along if its plain to see he's waiting for easy runs all the time, lets keep it light hearted simple and fun.

yes totally agree a bit of fun win are loose
