No doubt about it. The people in the States do seem to take everything, including dog showing, to a another level. More advertising, more campaigning, lots more money changing hands. If we want to preserve Cavaliers as a natural breed, we will have our work cut out for us. As soon as we give an inch, many will take a mile--we just may not be able to give that inch.
