It's not all bad.
I was visiting friends in northern Vermont last weekend and had the occasion to attend
an AKC show on Saturday as a spectator. I can emphatically state that the lovely
Cavalier entrants that day were not sculpted, hard-stacked, strung up or in any way
raced around the ring. Nice loose leads on everybody, particularly the eventual BOB.

And I saw happening to Cavaliers, with even greater speed, what had
happened to Beardies. Now the silly slippers are "neatened", the
flowing ears sculpted and trimmed straight across at the bottom, the
coat carefully (but not invisibly) shaped. Now they, too, are shown
by handlers as much as by owners, are stacked and positioned, and
judges get impatient when a Cavalier on the table wants to kiss
rather than stay still. And they speed around the rings with their
leads held straight above their heads. And I want to cry.
