Yes you can bet I am researching it now. Testing is simpler, quicker, we
hope less expensive. Advances in forensics are made in leaps and bounds
every year.
As soon as I have some hard answers to these questions, you can BET I will
make them public.
I believe this is an idea who's time is now. I know that our judges do the
best they can but wouldn't it be nice to CLEAN UP our Nationals?
Promise...I am working on this.
Just FYI...folks would be amazed at how many private emails I am inundated
with sharing anecdotes of dyed dogs, and complete support of this idea.
Seems most everyone has been victimized by those that refuse to play by the
rules.
Afterall, why should honest competitors be required to compete alongside
cheaters?
I guess like with Bodybuilding , we could have an "enhanced" group, and a
"natural" group...
LOL...gawd.
