hi david,
im training a GSP and phoned the club to ask about this meet saying i would make the numbers up if they werent bothered about me not having a BMH and were short of people. the guy i spoke with said sure i could attend but id have to join the club first, he also said that they were trying to run the course as they had lots of members north of the border that were complaining about everything to do with the club being down south, but that now they had arranged a days training they were struggling to fill the places. i did say id ring him back to see nearer the time if things were going ahead, but to be honest i forgot to. so long story cut short prob just couldnt get the interest off people to make it worth the trip and organization of it all.
kind regards
jimmy

Not sure David but I was told at the basc game fair that in spite of the interest shown and the requests for a day in the north only one dog was registered to attend.

I have had a very helpful telephone call this evening regarding the date and I was the only person who put down for it hence the reason it's not going ahead. I thought it would have been a good opportunity for people north of the border to attend some tracking tests. If any are advertised again, I would ask people to think about booking up otherwise they will never happen up this neck of the woods.

I'd say very little chance of them doing that, they've jist tried to organise something and couldnae generate any interest so why are they going to organsie any thing else. U cannae moan they dinae do owt and then not support it and still moan they dinae do owt.
I pm'd the boy a while back offering to give him a hand laying tracks the day afore as i live down the road and ken the estate pretty well, althou i wasnae going to take my dog, be another few years afore i start (if i do) any tracking work

You seem to have a strange outlook on where you seem to stand considering you are promoting a Bavarian
I can't speak for the BMH society
But wot I can say is in my opinion is the BMH society is doing something positive where BMH's are concerned
With a small gene pool can only mean a small membership
And if other BMH owners are not prepared to support a group that fought so hard to get the breed recognised in the UK
Pretty poor show
Considering the lengths you hav gone to promote good practice in deer management and now training days
But still you slate good practice where the breed is concerned
Sorry my friend but you need to look at the bigger picture

You see stone i believe the BMH Society went about things in the wrong way instead of promoting the breed and its benefits to the deer stalking community they pushed forward with little thought to working ability to get the breed recognised by the KC at all costs. Now may i say best practice in deer and the use of deer dogs has absolutely no connection with the kennel club. If you think so your are sadly mistaken.
I have already seen a breeds (HWV) working ability almost disappear following that same path. Maybe your wrong for a change but then again that might never happen.
I would support a group if it was worker motivation not motivated by acceptance by the KC
Remember this picture stone it got me Banned and was a bit tongue in cheek but it was from an experience i had at a game fair from a society member.

The breed was recognised by the UK KC a fair while before the breed society came into existance. The recognition was down to those who first imported the breed from my belief.
What acceptance do the society look for from the KC out of interest?

There is little gain for showing BMH in the UK as there are no breed classes as such. Yes you can show on import, but you are in with other breeds (Cirneco de'll etna, basset bleu de gascogne, grand bleu de gascogne in the hound group), you cannot become a champion, you cannot progress to the group or best in show, you can not enter stakes classes or junior handling. 2013 will be the first year at Crufts that import breeds are allowed to be exhibited - something that has been campaigned for by those mainly in the Utility and pastoral groups.
The BMH no longer offers a stand at Discover Dogs or Crufts as the Kennel Club did not want photos of the dogs working on display.

I would imagine you got banned because of inter politics
So what your still here , so what did the ban mean
More like school detention... To try and correct bad behaviour
Has that worked..??
But the issue is... If there is an issue
You hav a pedigree bitch ?? So you would obviously hav a pedigree maybe??
If it turns out to be a dog that has proper qualitys in finding deer
Will you breed from it on that basis??
If you do will you be bothered about how and who you breed from ??
Will you also follow guidelines for that breeding to take place??
As now what has best practice and the KC to do with it ,
as I may be mistaken
Producing good quality bred dogs for deer from a pedigree line of acceptance
Or is that not the way forward
As it seems show dogs are not...
Which is why the Teckle society was Gstarted is it not??
