has a wonderful, clear and concise article opposing PAWS, written by Charlotte McGowan. My scanner's down, so I can't scan it in...and it's too long to copy, but if you can get your hands on a copy of last Friday's Dog Schmooz, do so, and read the article. This is the issue with the Irish Water Spaniel (beautiful boy) on the cover.......... Other than a couple of paragraphs from me in my column in Show Sight, I think this is the first article in ANY of the dog media opposing PAWS that comes from a breeder/exhibitor/judge!..........
