we took our 2 golden retrievers to a dog show last year... it was advertised around a local village and we thought it was just a village thing for fun... turned out it was a national kennelclub jobbie. we bagged a 4th which was a massive suprise considering the standard of behavior from the other dogs compared to ours...

 

since then iv said i will never go to another dog show... the way these people were treating their dogs were absolutely appauling... they werent pets, just trophies. i remember 1 woman with a golden retriever shouting at her dog because it didnt finish in a place, she said to me as she was leaving 'this one is past it now im gonna get rid of it'. they were all a bunch of stuck up, toffee nose tw@s and were really bitchy to each other.

 

maybe we just had a bad experience but nevertheless.. congrats to your daughter for showing them how its done.

We just entered the family bit although bacchus is a pedigree. Had a walk round the other bit, not our cuppa tea though;)

I agree, I remember when the whole dog competition breeding standards was exposed. They found that most dogs were inbreeds, resulting in a lot of abnormalities with the dogs. Very disturbing to hear that the people who supposedly go to the greatest lengths to take care of there dogs, are in fact, putting them through pain and anguish to win a few trophies.

 

And they say backyard breeders are bad....
