I still think it would have been nice to see women in pant suits, or is this not allowed? -----Original Message----- From: showgsd-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:showgsd-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Peggy Sent: Tuesday, February 15, 2011 7:22 AM To: SARAVAGSD@xxxxxxx; sallyhayden5@xxxxxxxxx; showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: offending women I've grown used to women at dog shows showing more than they should.....(they seem to have forgotten this started out as a hobby for ladies and gentlemen, with emphasis on ladies) but for several years now, in my column after the Garden, I've wondered when it became "de rigeur" to show dogs in a tight, short skirt.....and more than half of the women handlers wear them...as part of a "shiny" suit. I hate the shiny suits, too, for that matter... So who did y'all think was the best dressed, then, instead of the worst?
