Personally I would not feel comfortable with my dog being left in a closed up air conditioned vehicle for the simple reason that the AC can stop and then what.? I would rather take my chances in a vehicle with windows and doors open for ventilation.? When I am on the road and it is very hot, the windows etc are open and the dogs are checked on periodicaly?either by me or someone in our group. -----Original Message----- From: caggra@xxxxxxx To: pmick12@xxxxxxxxxxx; rbuffdogs@xxxxxxxxx; VSabiaB@xxxxxxx; showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thu, Jun 25, 2009 11:36 am Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: SHOW DOGS DIE ..Were Kept in a Cargo Van Overnight You are exactly right Peggy.?? And for those who have said that they wouldn't send their dogs with a handler unless they were kept in a vehicle with an a/c unit - there have been multiple incidents where big name all breed handlers have had a/c units go out and 10+ dogs have died in those vehicles!?? I believe this situation happened to the same all breed handler twice?????????????????

It just usually doesn't make the news. Apparently the kid was quite a successful handler...wonder what will happen now...altho as I recall, losing dogs (more than 7) hasn't hurt the other handlers to whom this tragedy occurred.
