We went to the Ludlow show yesterday with the lurcher gang, they all did quite well with places & a couple of 1sts :cheers: but more importantly I wanted to say what a nice friendly & well organised show it was. You don't need to keep winning champs etc to have a good time, the other people there made the day. No bitching or storming off fom the ring/show because they didn't get a rosette. Well done to the ones who did win or were placed :thumbsup: & to the eventual champions :cheers: Needless to say we'll be back again next year.

Nearly forgot to say there was the occasional unscheduled entertainment from the horse side of the show (w00t) :lol: :lol:

Glad that you had such a good day I was wondering whether to come to that one, thought that it was rather a long way away but it looks like it was fun. However I did enjoy giving Esme a go at a companion show and I was able to chicken out of the rain and do the fun show classes at Rockingham.

Also have to say I did feel a bit like storming out yesterday as I felt the judge didn't even look at Nana. I have no problem losing fairly (and I have been doing a lot of that this year), but I don't like not being given a chance .

I can sympathise with you're feelings re Nana, Ive experienced it quite a few times with Bic & Tarn, there still seems to be a bias against white dogs. The judges tend to give them a cursory look over. It supposedly dates back to poaching days. Watching judging at some shows they won't place a white coloured dog at all, I've seen some really nice ones disregarded which is a shame. I think merle owners also have similar problems. Colour should never come into the equasion only confirmation etc. Coloured dogs can race & work as well as brindles & blacks :cheers: I also think there maybe 1 or 2 top class white greyhounds/whippets around :lol: :lol: :lol:

I'm not saying that it's all judges who do this just the ones who switch off as soon as they see a white dog -_-
