Numerous people excitedly jumped on this like a mob. They were so eager for that poor young handler to have "done something wrong" and that gorgeous bitch to be "undeserving". Why? Are they jealous or just mean-spirited or plain evil? If we wonder why dog shows are decreasing in popularity, it's not because a handler gave a dog some Flagyl, it's because of nasty people who assume the worst and then spread vicious gossip and make implications of the worst kind. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I guess I must have missed a post or mis read the original post - I thought I read it was a top handler and bitch. I never saw where it said young handler or the bitch was a German Shepherd. My remarks were in general stating we all know it goes and who does it. One way of stopping i was not to use the handler , buy from the owner or breed to the dog.
