kinsella Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 My favourite Burkes Backwhatever moment was when they were filming Irish Wolfhounds and we were asked if we could make them "frolic". Once we stopped choking and replied in the negative, we were then asked if we could make them play "chasings"These people really knew their dog breeds :rofl: Just quietly, not many people want to be chased by an IW Was that the day at Fagan park in Arcadia ? OMG.....the only bits that they showed on the tv programme, after seven hours of filming on a warm day, were the bits you would NOT use to promote your breed ! things like encouraging people to have the dogs up on their shoulders ect. "make them DO something" !! can't you just let them go (public park with tame waterfowl and parents with toddlers romping ) I replied with, oh yeah, I can let this fella go if you want to see some duck carnage !!!! Xolo....there's a reason the name has become a noun.....he's a BURKE !! fifi Yeah, Feef, that was the day. The filming with those appalling dancing sprogs, Fiona F espousing you had to feed an IW Pro Plan or something almost as good, and the dipshit with the jumping hound. What a waste of a day. They ended up recycling footage from years earlier where Christopher South was about 5 years old. (He's in his mid 20's now) Bloody wanker.

fifi Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 I remember one of the last 'breed tests' that Rob Zammit did with him, poor Rob's eye's were rolling as burke sprouted 'expert breed knowledge' and kept contradicting the VET !! the twit tries to breed every animal he comes into contact with, some horse people really saw him coming !!!!! IW4ME, didn't they ask one of us to run up the hill so they could film the hounds loose and chasing ?!!! can't remember any volunteers for that one !!! fifi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Flying Furball Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Years ago he featured a garden on his show that a of mine friend had designed and landscaped. When it went to air my friend was shocked because Don Burke presented it as if HE had done the garden No mention or acknowledgment was given at all to the true creative gardener!!

It was hot, we were tired and the dogs were just wanting to go home. That day is burned into memory and I have resisted any urge to do stuff like that again. Although, Tiggy did a fashion shoot at Camden. 9 hours for 2 photos. I guess I'm just a slow learner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, I still have the don burke magazine with the wolfhound feature in it.......the only plus is that we were all younger and skinnier & some of our hounds from over a decade ago are in the piccies !! and of course........oodles were still a food without the 'N' fifi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavyPaws Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Just quietly, not many people want to be chased by an IW Ridiculous statement. My friend had two big male Iws, and three bitch lurchers, and when she told me how fast they could run, I laughed and said no way. I took her offer up and ran across her paddock. On prior agreement, she counted to 20 and then let them go with the command "go go go!" which she used to get them to flush rabbits from the grass. I was at about the quarter point when I turned around to shout "Haha! Told you!", when roughly 300 kilos of fur and bone hit me. I went over backwards, they landed on me, licked my face, stepped on my windpipe, clawed my legs up and down, left a bruise across my face from a tail swipe and also pierced my left earlobe. Really, one of their claws got pushed halfway through my earlobe. I also lost one of my gumboots, and to this day have no idea where it went. I have to say, limping back to the house while five dogs bounced around me and on me going "Oh,boy! What a great game! Keep running!" was one of the better experiences of my life. I highly recommend everyone try it at least once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicole... Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 I had a friend that was being filmed for a segment for his show and he spent the entire time gawking at her chest. She got so over it that she proceeded to bend over and speak directly to his groin in return. After a few replies to his groin they stopped filming to ask what she was doing and she gave it to him in no uncertain terms... she said that once it was all over a lot of the behind the scenes tv people there commended her as not many people gave it back to him like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
