Oh, my gosh, Peggy..... I have seen so much chalking and blatant coloring in the terries, collies, shelties and the poodles that it amazes me that the rule is so detailed and it is still being done. You can walk by some of the grooming tables and the air is thick with powder and groomers/handlers wear gloves while they apply their magic <G> Dania So true! Handlers get paid to do a JOB. Judges get paid to do a JOB. It is STILL called a dog SHOW. Quoting the Rules and Regs means nothing when you award "enhanced" animals anyway. If breeders aren't honest then it doesn't matter in the long run. If you "enhance" them just don't forget that the "enhancement" DIDN'T effect their DNA!!
