I had heard nothing about this so its just a general heads up.

Rather surprised it hasn't happened earlier, perhaps it has but didn't get out. Dog shows are dangerous places for dogs, some of the exhibitors are not the nicest people you could meet, this was back in the 70's and I doubt it has improved. Human nature does seem to have taken a turn for the worst in recent years. my PC is slightly to the right of Genghis

Is my phone linking to a different news item? On the first post

I get a story of some Americans claiming their dog food killed their dogs Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Your phone is fine - 2 x separate stories but both related to our beloved pooches! MY2010 TD4 HSE Santorini Black, 19" Alloys, Almond Leather, Lux Pack, Rear Spoiler, Adaptive Xenons

NIck's right though - the original post is about American dog food, the second is about dog shows being dangerous places, then there's the link to the dog show poisoning. Looks like Dartman must be psychic and foresaw the dog show story!

Unless of course there is a connection. But definitely not psychic  my PC is slightly to the right of Genghis

our boy won best of breed at Crufts 2 years ago (Gordon Setter), and I can tell you I wasn't leaving him unattended for a second. So many people are in it for the money now they will do anything to beat the competition. Such a shame as the people (like us) who are just in it for the fun of it are a dying breed.

Since they he's only done a few local shows. It's not worth the hassle any more

MR- Gordon setters... Lucky you!! I love these dogs!
Can't tell you though last time I saw one!


Our top breeds at work are:
/lasa
Border Terrier
Jack Russell
Labs
GSD
Collies
Spsp
CoSp
Staffie

Anything else is a rarity- couple of pointers, a poodle, few Maltese...
Plus a boxer dog... But I sent that across rainbow bridge last night.

got 2 of them so only lucky sometimes

There's possibly a puppy on the way at the summer too
