Well, this is slightly off the mark here...but what about passing the word to NOT support any shows or events of any kind that are held in Long Beach, CA? There is no dog breeding of any kind allowed in Long Beach... and yet, this is where the AKC is taking the Eukanuba Invitational next year (again!) Check it out -- not only BSL, but no breeding of dogs at all! Why anyone involved in dogs would conduct any business at all in Long Beach is beyond me...and the Eukanuba pet show is not even a place where one can earn points of any kind...why go? I believe there is an all-breed club there--don't enter, and don't go! Make sure they know why you are not going to spend even 39cents in Long Beach! If a place is that unfriendly to dogs, someone tell me why any dog person should go there!!!! Now, there's a place to start -----------------!!!
