I see a few of the same offenders fail to pick up poop at whatever venue they show, And, after stepping in poop, right before I went in the ring recently, I am not happy. How hard is it to carry a few plastic bags with you? And most, if not all shows, have pooper scoopers available. I have people potty their dogs behind my RV, not picking it up. I have to do it so I don't get blamed for not picking up after MY dogs. The lack of coutesy, especially regarding hotel rooms is appalling. It's no wonder hotels don't want to have dogs.
