We have had a little trouble with people coming from Russia with dyed dogs very visibly dyed almost looking purple. And the judge put them up as winners. I don't understand how its possible for the judge not to see that thats an artificial color.  And I really don't like to loose to a purple dog 
But about the links above what do you think? Is that considered dye or color enhancer? And if all this is forbidden how is it possible that all these people like pure paws, Chris Christensen and all the other product seller, sell these product on a dog show stand. I just thought about this on a dog show here on Saturday, when the people see this on a stand and by it they must think its legal to use. Or? Is it clarified enough that thats actually wrong? |
First off....I would love to see pictures of your dogs!
I've seen the videos you've linked to before. You can give whichever name you like - enhancing or dying, either one it's still
altering the color of the dog and should be a disqualification.
Dog show vendors know the color enhancing products are not allowed but also know exhibitors are going to buy the products anyway...and, they are there to make money.....
Also, don't be fooled.....exhibitors (here in the US)
know enhancing dogs is not allowed, whether or not those products are sold at the shows. But, they also know the chances of them being disqualified for using the products are slim to none.
Sadly, I'm sure this deceptive practice will continue until someone with some clout speaks out.
I'm sure losing to a purple dog was a slap in the face. But, if a purple dog was put up over the others that is a bad judging problem too!
