Ireland's PREMIER INTERNATIONAL canine events

Over 42 years, the Great Game Fairs of Ireland have consistently led the field in terms of the range of canine competitions, their prize structures, their national and international working dog events and the quality of their working dog facilities. In view of the uncertainty post Covid for 2022 we have again decided to forgo an international team event in favour of putting the funds into a great prize structure.

Gundogs at Shanes Castle 25th and 26th June 2022

This year the format of the gundogs has included the international team events being mothballed but replaced by domestic events with some of the best prize money in Ireland on offer. And this should attract individual international competition!
