I'm sorry my sweetheart - been so caught up with Andy's spinal surgery, then my dad's problems, I just let this all slip away, and that's wrong...

Will find out what I can, and keep you posted....sorry...xxx

Oh NO!!!!, dont even go there sweetie! I can not even IMAGINE what all you have been thru with Andy's surgery, then your dads problems.....I was just wondering if maybe something had been mentioned, some outcome....dont spend time that you are needing to care for the most important things in your life, looking up stuff that has actually no effect on most of any of us.......Here in the States, things happen and then its like if no one writes/reports on it, all kinds of corruptness and illegal activity just "disappears" and people forget, and then it is all gone and everything is great again!!! You take care of what is certainly most important to us all in fact, and if they print or say something about a resolution in the case, then just a quick note is all we need or even expect......

I'm just glad I believe in God and I DO think if the evil person who could do such a thing isn't caught in this lifetime...they will be held accountable for what they did when their grand reckoning comes. I hope God puts Dogs with Kids and classifies them both as "innocents" and has an especially hot place waiting for someone that mean and devious to such an innocent.


But I DO hope the shows world wide take notice and take action to prevent it ever happening again.

Last posting on this is March 21 - nothing after that. Crufts (And many others) wants to say it happened in Belgium, not at Crufts. Seems like no one wants to say anything and they are just trying to shut the whole thing up.

I first heard it was long acting poison, then in March they said it was short acting poison. I find it hard to believe that autopsy was not able to be clear about that.

I really think someone just wants this to go away.

The YTCA is having a major show in June And instead of everyone wanting to know what neat things they can go and see in the city etc. there is more conversation about security and people wanting to know where they can hire someone to watch their babies when they are away in the ring with another one. A lot of folks Are bringing their spouse along so someone is always with the dogs.

I have trouble believing the bit national shows don't have security cameras. If they don't, they need to start working on that!

I do find the lack of public information interesting - they were to do a tox screen and then nothing on the results.... Despite saying the toxicology would show results with-in a week.. It could be that criminal charges are pending - IDK


Video cameras are good - but seriously they will not stop some idiots from trying to do dastardly things to your dog.

Thanks for those two articles.
Clearly they put Crufts out of the loop, which is reassuring. Most of us believed that no dog lover could do something like that.
I'm sure the loss is no less devastating for the family.
