Yup, it started with Pointers and Setters...and those people had to have money for sporting events for their dogs. I sure wish I could find that article I read about a year ago regarding dog shows and when it started. I've looked a few minutes ago but I can't find that one article I read. It was very interesting. But from what I've been reading this morning I still get way back in those days you had to be of money because the poor man had to work to even make enough to keep his family fed. UGH I'm still trying to search for that article I read! LOL
