Winner,and reserve.

Some Show pix

Alannah.With her wee Sheena pup.She was proud as punch,just being able to show her.Even the judge werent that keen on her.Wont dampen Alannahs spirits though.Cuz even she never wins a rosette.Alannah just dotes on her.Cuz we never thought for a minute.That she would ever survive.

This was a shot of the race track,from the finnish line

 

[billyboy45]

Just to make things fairish.I thought id add a few of the terrier shots i took.Even though this is a lurcher forum.

CHAPION,AND RESERVE.

Part of the line up,in the whippet x class i think.

The judges choice of these.

 

[billyboy45]

I think i know a couple of folk,who are eagerly awaiting their coppies of these beautiful shots.

This nice pair of whippets,that caught my eye.Went on to win the whippet pairs.

And from Margaret,n Johns wee Champion.To my own wee beauty. Champion,and Reserve Champion,went to my own wee Shadow bitch,and Fiona's big Colliexgreyhound x whippet dog.

This is Lizz.With her champion Whippet.

Champion Terrier.

All 3 chapions.Who then went head to head,for the title of overall Show Champion.Which the Terrier took the honour of winning,and my wee Shadow bitch,taking Reserve.

 

[billyboy45]

OK.1 page of racing pix,n im off to bed.3 bloomin hours after id planned tey go.U K9ers,are a flippin nusance,lol.

Whippet race.Didnt know what was goin on here.With 9 flippn dogs comin at me all at once.

Under 23,1st heat.

 

[billyboy45]

And a strip of the over 23 inch 1st heat.This was the black dog,from Derry,that i was earlier told.Wouldnt be touched,and was here for one thing.Dont think they were expecting this though.He did scare me a bit,over the 1st 60/70,yards though.But Danny has an extra gear this year,now that he's all grown up.When he finds it,he uses it well.lol.

 

[Margaret Mc Stay]

Billy you sure know how to take photographs. Really a job well done. What beautiful photographs. This has been a glorious weekend all around

 

[lullabell]

:thumbsup: Great pics Billy,,captured the day lovely :thumbsup:

 

[billyboy45]

2nd heat of over 23s.Thought this had serios pace,for a rough lurcher.

Semi finals.

This one was on its own again.Realy liked this dog.

Danny was also on e's own again,and i reconed we were in for a good final,as there was no break at all for them,and it was straight down the field,and ino slips,for the final.They hadnt even time for a drink,n it was 19/20 degrees.With Danny not being race ready.Iwas just a wee bit worried.

 

[billyboy45]

Final of the under 23 looked a good race.Wih Deago,Zola,and Eddie's Hugo.Plus my own wee Shadow bitch.Who was having her 1st experience,with a load of strange dogs.But she didnt get away at all,and was left for stopped,by those 2 fawn flyers,who just werent gona be caught.Hugo had a terrible slip too.So with any sort of opposition,out of the way.Those 2 of Rose's went off like shit of a shovel,and it was all over by the 1st few strides.Just held the button down on this one.So i could capture the whole race,almost stride for stride.Right up to the finish line.

 

[billyboy45]

Ok.I know im being a bit byest here.But y not,lol.I did he same with the overs final,and caught just about every blade of grass in this one.From start to finish.Couldnt believe That half way up,i thought Danny was gona get beaten.As that black dog,seem to be catchin,and passing him.Where he pulled his next move from,is anybody's guess.Or was he just being a cheeky bugger,as usual.

So im putting the lot on here folks.Sorry ive only put haf of the under final race on,and the lot ,of the overs final on.But then i can,cant i,lol.

But then he found e's 2nd wind,or summit,and said e's goodby's,with a wag of e's tail,and was gone. Hope e can do this all year.He hasnt come up against the real opposition yet.So i dont know just what e's made off.Might not win another race.But Kirsty is proud as punch.Retaining her racing title here,from last year,and thats what she's spent the last 3 weks ,traning for. Well done girl,and im as proud of you.As you are,of that useless owl dog of youre's,lol.So here's the rest of the shots i got.

 

[billyboy45]

 

[billyboy45]

Not to sure,if this was the puppy race,or not.As there was a sort of mayhem,after the main racing was all taken care off.As you will see shortly.

 

[billyboy45]

Then the fun began.If u could call this fun.Thankfully the days racing went off with out an injury.As the only dogs that were muzzled,were our own,Eddie's,and the Mc Coy's.

Then it was trophy time,and all the proud race winners.Gathered for their place on the podium,lol.

Didnt get the shots in,of the terrier racing.As there was only one race i think,and it was over,before i knew it began.But here are 2 prroud wee girls,with their winning dog.

Winner and reserve,in the whippet race.

Alannah.With Shadow.Who was overall Lurcher Champion,and Kirsty,with Her Dannyboi dog.Who defended his title in style,by winning the overs racing.

Rose n Deidrie.With Deago,and Zola.Who took champion and reserve,in the unders.Another family success

Just one last photo,to finish up with folks.Once again.Id like to thank Dessie.For another fine show.Everything went sweet,from start to finish,and what a day of sunshine we had.This was a great show to start our season off with.Congratulations,to all the winners,and to all those who didnt win.Better luck next time.There were some classy looking animals at this show,and i never expected a result like this,with my wee Shadow bitch,being crowned Lurcher Champion,and bringing the Perpetual Sheild,that we had just returned from last year.Back home to Tyrone.Im realy chuffed,and would like to thank the judge.Who would have had her in the back of his car,and away to Kent,(England).If he's av got the chance.Nice to win,under such an experienced pair of eyes and hands.Which belonged to someone from the other side of the Irish sea.Who knew,or knows nobody.Thanx again Dessie.For puttn on a good show.To kickstart the season with.I hope most ,or all of you.Wil travel down to our clubs 1st show.On 1st of MAY.At Donemana.If the weather stays with us.We should match this one.Racing will be tough going folks.Should be at least 300 yards,and all up a good tight track.Dogs will need to be race fit,for this one.So get youre homework done.

Kirsty,n Lizz.With CODY,and DANNYBOI.
