Rule Britannia. This sums up my feelings regarding Norma's e-mail. Maureen V. Miles Pied Piper Cavaliers ----- Original Message ----- From: norma inglis Sent: Sunday, October 06, 2002 7:05 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [CKCS-L] N American dogs showing in the UK There was an interesting article in this weeks Dog World (a UK weekly) concerning the news that the British Government is planning to lift the travel ban on dogs from the US and Canada.
The view expressed was that when this happens the world of British dog shows will never be the same. There is so much money in dogs over the water, with many of the well known dogs owned by very rich people or groups of people, that money is no object. It went on to say that it will be an eye opener for some here in the UK to see how the professional handlers operate. The dog owners will not come over but it will be the pros to whom they pay considerable sums of money for results. It asks how those smartly dressed ladies and gentlemen who handle their dogs with military precision will react to our shows. No facilities for their racks of clothes (they change outfits between breeds), no power points for their clippers, no facilities for bathing dogs at shows and so on. The piece ends "the clash of the dog cultures will be fascinating to observe". What does the list think? Will the professional handlers be able to adapt to our more casual approach to showing dogs?
