Post by: Boggert on March 09, 2008, 17:59:28
Ok, may be its just me? Crufts, dogs at their best... no problem, not my thing but hey we live in a diverse world so go for it.

However the dogs dancing thing is just plain disturbing :shock:

The same could be said of those parents in America who dress their 5 year old daughters up for beauty pageants. Thats more disturbing!

Do you mean like the film 'Little Miss Sunshine' ? a classic example of pushy parents! Its the little costumes for the dog that get me - I mean who has the time to make things like that!

Looks like something else the yanks have imported over here.
I thought it was a dog show not a dance off.

I have to say it did make me think "Uhh, ok..."! I'm normally a live and let live sort but this just seemed very disturbing for some reason. I think it's the way the dog is evidently a substitute child for some of them - a child that will never grow up and will always wear and do what they want.

The child "beauty pageants" are sick. Kids are pushed into growing up too quickly as it is, and I suspect these events attract some highly unsavoury characters.

Thing is dogs will do a lot to please their master, whether they would choose to do it for themselves is another matter.  I have no issure with dog agility, or flyball, or any of the obedience disciplines that dogs get put through, but I have to winder if "dancing" is actually good for them.  I know mine would rather watch telly :lol:

Just think of the amount of extra strain that is put on their hips and ankles, not very good really, especially when you think how many routines the dog will be put through in it's life, and how much practice it will be made to do.

Just add Graham Norton and call it 'strictly come barking mad'

Still at least the bits of muts I saw had some nice dogs and didn't appear to have any loo brushes
