Dogs-- Gotta love 'em (especially Golden Retrievers).
Dog Shows-- NOT so much.
An ego-driven exercise for profit.
Unfair description? You be the judge.
It's supposed to be a fun-based family outing.
Results offer few surprises.
Professional handlers tend to dominate.
Too muxh emphasis on how a dog performs.
Over-grooming seems to be the norm.
What's become of the "form follows function" concept?
Perhaps we need an "Ice Bucket Challenge." Let's see what's under all that fluff.
How about placing all entries in a fully-fenced arena. Off with the leashes. Out with the handlers-- professional or otherwise. Let the dogs freely interact. Only then, follow normal procedures in the ring.
I'm just sayin'.
