THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU...MANDATORY DRUG AND DYE TESTING AT THE NATIONALS...EASILY DONE I don't care what argument ANYONE has ......ask yourself WHY? Ask yourself , how could ANYONE have a problem with a HAIR SNIPPET, after classes........If people resist, then maybe that is reason enough to look closer at their dogs. AND LET ME TELL YOU FOLKS THE DYEING IS FLIPPING RAMPANT, NOT JUST AT THE NATIONALS BUT LOCALLY and of course, nationwide. OPEN YOUR EYES... let your sense of smell be your guide ...any woman (or man) that has ever highlighted their hair , could recognize the smell immediately, even after a dog is bathed. DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MANY PRIVATE OUTRAGED EMAILS WE GET ABOUT DYED DOGS???? AND HOW ABOUT GOING *PUBLIC* WITH YOUR CONCERN......I DON'T GET WHY NO ONE STANDS UP AND CALLS BS ON THIS????? Why do we tiptoe around this? So much anger over it, yet nobody has the testicles to stand up and call FOUL on this practice. Please do NOT agree with me in private, if you are not willing stand up PUBLICLY AN CALL THE GUILTY OUT ON THIS.... I witnessed personally, it was done IN THE OPEN in stalls with no curtains on tables at the FT COLLINS NATIONAL for anyone to see or smell. The crap dripping off their "stars" These two dogs went Select...along with others whose dye jobs are so bad and so careless, and maybe it's because the people involved are "above " it and untouchable....... It is pervasive in some kennels and with some handlers/ conditioners...ENOUGH!!!!!!!! IT IS FRAUD, NOTHING ELSE. So when you breed to a Black and Red Dog, or get a puppy from a black and red bitch, you better make damn sure what you are really getting. I am sick to death of people getting white-ish and cream dogs from "BLACK and RED " popular dog or bitch of the day.... ENOUGH is ENOUGH....DYE TESTING , DRUG TESTING...THE GERMANS GET IT, THEY CHANGED THE FACE OF THE BREED IN ONE YEAR, THEY TOOK NO PRISONERS...ARE WE AS SMART? DRUG AND DYE TEST AT OUR BIGGEST SHOW OF THE YEAR........CLEAN IT UP, FOLKS.... WE ARE CLEAN.....ARE YOU?
