MACHA HAS BEEN LOOKING FOR PIX OF HER WITH HER DOG'S AT DONEMANA SHOW LAST SATURDAY.AFTER MUCH WORK AND SERCHING,I HAVE FOUND THESE 2 WHICH WERE DELETED,BUT A MATE SORTED THIS FOR MEBARRON_TOP_SHOW.jpg
 
thanks very much, Billy, esp for the unexpected pic of my lurcher running

too bad we didn't get a pic of him going over the high jump

I think the brindle whippet running is my dog's cousin Micky? they have similar colouring but I think that looks like Micky's basket muzzle

...what are you trying to say here ????? you ran your dog at 11 months...was that a mistake...so what age do pups run at .. as a newcomer to dog racing this post has confused me. maybe you mean the distance was the mistake...

Just want to say on here that we are doin the racing 1st this year,just to see how it work's out.I recon more will take part that way,and we'll have plenty of spectator's,instead of just having the racer's left in the field.I think it might also be a good advert for anyone who does'nt know anything about racing,and may just draw a few more into our sport.Might keep the final's till the end of the day though,so long as everyone is happy with that.We aim to please,so any idea's will be welcomed. ...Billy...

billys idea sounds good ian because at the end of the day you need the ones who are showing mate to help make a good turn out not just 20 or 30 dogs ther to race

billy that would be a good idea for n.d.l.t.c i think we are having our a.g.m on the first tues in feb but not sure of how many of the crew staying in the club alot have diff veiws on wot the club is all about
 
Billy, if you view the posts and comments on the thread "racing or showing first" practically everyone who has posted or commented in favour that completing the racing before the showing is the way forward.

In all the year's that i did race,i have been asking for the racing to be held first.Only to be put in my place,by those who were running the thing.Ive seen dog's collapse,after standing ,or lying about in temperature's around the 30s,for hour's and hours.Ive gone home day's,without racing,while other stupid ,(well i wont say what i would call them)ran their dog's,and had them collapse.Ive whitnessed dog's actualy die,while cooking in the trailor's,as the show,went on,n on,n on.It was me who wanted the muzzle's brought in years ago,and was told that if i did'nt want my dog ripped,then dont race.Because of no muzzle's,ive seen dog's have their windpipe tore out,at the end of a race.this dog had just won the all ireland racing final,overs,and belonged to a bloke called Mick Moore.Dog had to be destroyed,a day or two later.I was branded a trouble maker,for wanting a bit of safety in our sport,at the time.It was only after i quit,that summit happened to change their mind's about muzzle's.(I can remember summit about someone being bitten,as they were catching a dog for someone).I recon the dog's are too knackered to put up a true run,if they're standing,or lying about in fierce heat,for 4 or 5 hour's.I remember my Snipe dog pissing stuff like Guiness,and rushiung him home to the vet's,who said his kidney's might never be right again,cause they were litteraly cooking,inside him.If id have raced him that day,he would'nt have made it to the line,never mind home.So let's change all that for the better,by racing first,when the dog's are fit to race. ...Billy...
 
Billy, I had this discussion a couple of weeks ago with John and I think that racing should be held first at ALL shows !

The crowds have always disappeared before the racing starts and it is such a spectacle and much better entertainment for the crowds and i`m sure this would help to promote Lurchers and encourage new people into the sport !

I went to 3 or 4 shows last year with little Ernie and having driven for hours, then had to stand around for ages waiting for the racing to begin !

I was told the reason why they show first was so the dogs wouldn`t look blown up after a run and wouldn`t show well ! !

I think that if the people want racing first, then the organisers should listen !

Also, I think it`s essential that NO dogs should be in front of the dogs waiting to run. They should all be behind a rope. The dogs are distracted by the ones along the sides and many of them dont see that drag going off !

Simple rules, but nonetheless try and make the Sport a little better organised and marshalled ! I mentioned to John about traps ! Try and move racing over here forward and not stuck in the mud !

Regards.
