As has been said start an other thread and we can add our opinions with out taking this one off topic.
I showed my healthy happy Veteran at Crufts this year

well, I know
so you will never see me posting to the "Showing" Threat section, but here it's on a General Dog Chat???

am I wrong?

so own opinions are not allowed to give a voice to?

yes you are allowed an opinion. but this thread was to celebrate the winner of crufts. if you want to post a thread in the general chat about how you dont agree with crufts then do it.

well, for this I think is the "Showing" Threat section?

why are you picking at other people for where theyre posting.. you started this and people are replying to your post in THIS thread!

and what breed of dog do you have?? is it a maltese x peke ??

Hi Malpeki, I started a thread Another Year is over,re the negative,as I didnt want to stop something positive like a british dog winning Crufts 2013 being put in the shade crystalgirl

Malpeki.. you still have not answered my question. how many dog shows have you been to.
And how are our dogs suffering

I posted earlier I had only been to cruft once and never again I saw many many lovely people and dogs they obviously loved and cared for, dogs that enjoyed the whole thing. I also (and this is what put me off) saw dogs tied to benches while the owners were off looking round the show, dogs looking distressed on benches alone or being walked around the show being stood on as it was so crowded. I saw dogs wee themselves on their benches because the facilities and people who should have been with them were too far away.

I saw much good and some down right cruelty, it wasn't the entire show that needed stopping just the practices that people like x-clo-x would never dream of inflicting on her dogs.

We shouldn't as the saying goes throw the baby out with the bath water here, we should be looking at what we can do to make it better.

oh sorry, I just did realise that this threat got split,but I don't mind, it's fine

so now to your question
I've never ever been on one of those showings
and never you will get me on one of them
as I'm not going to support them
