i have had an email from the irish kennel club saying that the european winners dog show in dublin is on--- TV3 tonight at 7.30 called gone to the dogs
Dont think we can get that here as ive gone through all our channels to check
Does anyone know any way it can be seen?

I did a search for it as I am in Northern Ireland but and apparantly you have to be in southern Ireland to get it :(

Just had a look on ITV3 and can not see it listed? 

Sophie

Whoops just notice the post said TV3 is this an irish channel?

> Whoops just notice the post said TV3 is this an irish channel?

Yes sadly :(

Thats a shame my puppy got Group 3 in group 8 and would have loved to watch some footage from show as I did not go my husband did instead - wonder if we are able to get copies???

Sophie

hope if you can someone will let us know
would it go on youtube do you think?

That what I was wondering I have emailled the Irish Kennel club to ask if we can have a copy, I have put a note on facebook and on another web site to see if anyone in ireland can do a DVD of the show, you never know - its worth a try

Sophie

hy dont you try the  station that televised the programme..

Hi there, heres the link to watch it online.

http://www.tv3.ie/videos.php?video=13460&locID=1.65.387

I spotted myself on it a few times as i stewarding in the ring where the lady was showing her cocker.

It won't work for anyone outside of the Republic of Ireland :(

Oh really? Can it not be watched online even if you arent in ireland?

No - TV output, even via the computer, can be blocked to viewers in other countries.

> Oh really? Can it not be watched online even if you arent in ireland?

No :(

Oh sorry, i just thought if its online then anyone can watch it.

boo hoo, one of my breeding won in the breed so I hoped I might see them.

I emailled the TV station they came back saying if they are going to repeat it they will let me know so someone can video it for us - what a shame I would have love to see my cocker on TV

Sophie

Try this link, it should work.
http://www.bracco.ie/ews.html

just watched it from this link
it works

Watched with the sound off (other half watching tv) and will watch again when I get a chance, but overall impression is why do film makers seem to concentrate on all the primping and grooming.

I don't know the statistics, but surely trimmed breeds are not in the majority are they.

As a general aside why does so much grooming seem to go on at the actual shows?  surely most of it should be done before at home and there might just be a stray hair to sort out and quickly run a comb through, undo or undress the protection from long coats???

It just seems to make dog exhibitors look like some sort of mad hair dressers/dog torturers.

Thanks for the link, although they concentrated on the cockers did not see my boy who got Best Puppy and a group placing, however my husband watch it and said he saw himself a few times.  Think they could have edited out arguments/certain comments etc though??

Sophie

when i try to watch it i only see a little bit and it keeps on stopping  do you know why this is?

Just had a quick look - think I recognised those legs with the flatcoat!!

just tried again said failed to connect so dont know if its been taken off

> Think they could have edited out arguments/certain comments etc though??

Why would they want to edit out the juicy stuff? I think it was funny the quote's from the same person:

"We're not bad sports, we're not those sorts of people" (not word for word correct here but you get the jist)

"A post-grad piece of ****"

Yeah ok then Mr, not bad sports man like at all - it actually made me think quite bad of the successful group of people who I'd always thought highly of and makes me question when my dog beats a top winning kennel what are they saying about him or me?

That quote is the sort of behaviour that gives dog showing a bad name and puts other people off! I very much doubt the person who said that even give's a hoot if he offended the owner of the winning dog or the judge!

got it up again now seems they just concentrated on 2 exhibitors Seen a second or 2 of myself  who actualy beat one of those exhibitors and got green star and casib but dont blink or you miss me

Ah but no-one bad mouths the loser so if they are talking about your dog it must be beating theirs LOL :D

Just watched with sound and to be honest it wasn't a bad program, no-one was over the top, it is pretty normal in any sport for people to disagree with the decision.   The things I have heard football linesmen and refs called for example.

Just shows human nature. It wasn't like the Crufts programs that tend to show people in dogs as really weird.
