SECTION 8-C.
If in the judge’s opinion any substance has been used
to alter or change the natural color or shade of natural
color or natural markings of a dog, then in such event
the judge shall withhold any and all awards from such
dog, and the judge shall make a note in the judge’s book
giving his reason for withholding such award.
