(Sorry if anyone has one LOL) Anyway the same lady had three in the ring and one of them hopped around on three legs. She had her daughters showing two of them and the judge even asked her to take the little hopping one aroundd instead of her daughters. There was not a sound in the show area as everyone stood up and watched the little dog. I first thought it was just acting up as i think it was a puppy. Then the longer it went on, the worse it got to the point of hopping on three legs. I felt so bad for the little dog. of course it got DQ'd but I still don't know if it was hurt or just acting up. |
Poor puppy. Hey! My Denny went around the ring on his hind legs....nothing was wrong with him, he's just a circus clown. He did obtain his AKC Championship at 14 months of age....and I got embarrassed all the time.
