Structure and movement is more important in the ring than someone coloring a dog, crippled rears bad fronts, bad toplines...that is the overall picture why can't you see what is more important and go after that with a complaint? That's the make up of a dog structurely and what is produced! You can say it's fancy rationalizing but that is where the priority should lie and what should be more focused on. Walk a mile in my shoes in the show ring and see what I see and maybe then you would agree. Maybe you won't but that's ok 
Wrong is wrong no matter how you look at it but why focus on something so trival when there is more important and more serious things to worry about... |
Donna,
Definately a Gotcha Post as you eluded too.
Now as far as not allowing foriegn substance in Europe.....You and I know several well known exhibitors and handlers that show there as well as in other countries and products are used. The only well known show being Crufts, where you do have to show the dog a la natural
