I just got the following email from a member of our local AKC club, addressed to all members of our club - thought I would pass along:

This was just forwarded to me and evidently did happen at the Belleville shows this last weekend:
<<<<<<<<By the way, this is a warning to all who show ? at the show this weekend
(Belleville, Illinois) put antifreeze in water dishes when
dogs were out being shown. The handlers noticed the pink color (they said it
looked like Kool-Aid) and changed the water, discovering by the odd smell
what it was. It was announced over the loudspeaker to not put your dogs into
their crates without checking water dishes first. Lots of people immediately
took their dogs out and locked them in motor homes. We just decided that one
of us would be guarding the crates at all times from now on. I am furious
about it. They are
sick people.

This has been verified by other people who are members of the club. Watch your dogs at all shows.
