you answered your own question.....Ed ----- Original Message ----- From: "Liane Fossland" <lfossland@xxxxxxx> To: djdistilli@xxxxxxxxxxx, Showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, February 16, 2011 12:57:00 PM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: westminster/drugs/reactions Very few of use are so naïve as to think that Westminster is above and beyond such happenings. It certainly has happened at less prestigious dog shows. My question is why would it be so important for anyone showing his/her dog by altering its personality, temperament or looks just to get personal satisfaction or winning at all costs. Don't they realize that they are just hurting their dogs? Is their ego that great? According to what was said in the post it was a "well known" handler.
