Ahhh the Westminster Dog Show… So many people love the “sport of purebred dogs”, and many people who may not own show dogs enjoy watching the show on TV. All of the dogs are beautiful but are people outside of the dog show world aware of the politics involved in showing? Do outsiders realize that the best dog “closest to the breed standard” often does not win? The dog show world is a soap opera—the movie “Best In Show” is not far “fetch”ed. Handlers having affairs with other handler’s husbands…handlers having flings with judges…the more you pay through advertising the better your dogs chances are… bribes…the whole nine (fenced in) yards. If only dog shows were gone to the dogs…
