GameBirdMeg 21 Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 I thought that as a little show it was quite good...the shopping village indoors is great- no mud or rain to contend with... I will say it was better than I was expecting. Was a bit embarressed with our red pup as he kept kicking off at the other dogs... does anyone know what won the terrier championship?

Magwitch and I went because it's on our doorstep ,so to speak,we were there Saturday ,when the weather wasn't too good, there seemed less stalls and probably because of the weather not much going on outside,maybe Sunday was better?There did not seem to be any activity around the terrier and lurcher rings ,and I felt sorry for the judges and stewards a couple of whom are in a lurcher club I belong to, again down to the weather.For £8 pound it is ok ,not great value ,when you consider a big show like the Welsh is only a pound more at £9, Detling scores because it is mostly inside ,but too many stalls bore little or no relation to Country Sports,as Magwitch remarked ," where does a hair extensions stand come into the equation"?

On the Sunday the terrier and lurcher ring had quite an audience to start with but then after the puppy champ. they started 'adding' classes to the schedule. I was going to do the pairs but got annoyed as of the waiting so thought stuff it and put dogs back in their boxes. Came back an hour later and there was hardly anyone round by the rings and not many dogs being shown after that! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Might have to hold hands up for the adding of the Bullbreed class If enough of the ACES crowd turn up they do put a class in for us............. Defo less stalls than last year but still had a good day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lucasplonker 0 Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 i went i thought it was rubbish as for the terrier show the schedule said nothing about docked terriers being allowed to be shown, i thought that if it was not stated on this and you had to pay an entrance fee at the gate you could not show a docked tail dog if it was born after jan 2007 and yet a docked tail puppy won the puppy class.

I was in that class on the Sunday with docked pups (chocolate patt & red patt)... I hadn't asked but asked when I got a schedule and the judge said to me take them in!
