Thread Name: Dogs at Festival
Subject: RE: Dogs at Festival
Read my publicity?

I've never heard of a child being bitten at a Kennel Club authorised dog show or novelty dog show or exemption dog show. I've only ever seen a couple of people thrown out for having a dog out of control.

Rare to be bitten at dog shows? Richard it ought not to happen at all!! If you can find "irresponsible dog-owners" at dog shows what chance to the rest of us have?

Clearly it is OK to bite judges - especially if they are ex Blue Peter presenters.

As for security being there to remove recalcitrant dog owners - I am not sure what sort of festivals you go to - but I have been to about ten this year. None have needed that sort of security. Are you suggesting organisers get security in to throw out recalcitrant dog-owners? Just in case? Isn't that the nightmare scenario you were complaining about in an earlier post?

Far far easier to ban dogs.
