My daughter is taking our 1 year old male gsd up to a show for me this
weekend. She has a new baby. She would enjoy being involved with showing
dogs
(she is a groomer and owns a Sheltie). Her question is "why are baby
strollers not allowed?" IF we want to support and encourage young families to
be
interested in the sport of dog showing it seems reasonable to make it do-able
for them. Baby strollers for a young baby make it do-able.
Among the many brochures that AKC has available for people to pick up at
shows, they have one that specifically addresses strollers. Why not
strollers?
Because people with strollers can run over dogs tails. Some dogs are not kid
proof and the kids are at risk at a strollers height to get bit in the face.
These are two of the reasons (good ones in my eyes) why strollers are
discouraged or even disallowed at some shows.
