In general I think that it is a good idea too. I was rather surprised when I went to the Three Counties last year as previously dogs WERE allowed in, but it was noticeably easier to walk around without having to step in dog poo! I did see that the dog wardens were there in the car parks in large numbers checking on all the cars, because unfortunatly there are still idiots around who think it fine to leave dogs in cars under hot sun.

I think that many shows, including The Three Counties, have gradually moved away from the old format which was first and foremost farming, horses, dogs and other animals. Perhaps foot and mouth started the rot, but these days it seems to be far more about a general day/days out for all the family with entertainment aimed accordingly. In the old days it would have been a huge shock if dogs were banned from the ground unless competing
