This is horrible. I have watched two of my dogs attacked with one of them dying and it is something you never get over. I am about keeping the breed up to standards and healthy but I am not into dog shows. Hopefully this will open some owners eyes to the prospective dangers...So darn sad..

This is unaccepted! Our voices need to be LOUD and clear for this to never happen to another dog at a dog show. What if this had been a child or adult??? ________________________________ From: Deanna Corey <[email protected]> To: Chihuahuas <[email protected]>, PomeranianHealthClassroom <[email protected]>, PomForum <[email protected]>, Inthedogpark <[email protected]>, toypoodles <[email protected]>, Poodle Group <[email protected]>, yorkieviews2 <[email protected]>, yo_yo_yorkie_owned_yorkie_obsessed <[email protected]>, Boston-Terrier <[email protected]>, boston-terriers-people <[email protected]>, Best-Dressed-Pets <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, April 09, 2012 at 10:11 pm Subject: [Chihuahuas] Sad day!! Yesterday, the breeder, and my friend (Teresa West) that I got my Myrtle from had her little male Chi attacked and killed at a dog show he was entered in!! A Husky who was also being shown, broke loose and attacked Whiskey!!...killing him!! I'm just sick!!! I believe this was the Glendale, CA show. There are so many things wrong with this but we were just talking about shows and how poorly they were doing things nowadays...allowing bad tempered dogs in the ring!! Well...here is just another result of that kind of thing...we were talking about showing ill tempered dogs for the purpose of furthering the breed and how sad that was...and here something happens so horrible...another angle we didn't consider!! Things really do need to change!! Maybe this may be the catalyst for some of those changes if we all scream loud enough!!! I'm just sick...so many loved Whiskey...he was a fabulous little guy...such a great personality!!! I know Teresa is devastated and heart broken!!! Please pray for her and that this life will not be lost in vain!! Romping in the Dog Park! Deanna and the Dog Park Gang!
