NOVELTY classes such as prettiest bitch and most handsome dog could be a thing of the past at RSPCA shows thanks to new guidelines.
Well-known fixtures in the companion dog show circuit, these classes – including dog with the prettiest eyes – have been deemed ‘not appropriate’.
Classes which are considered acceptable by the charity are ‘waggiest tail, best behaved, doggie dash, best rescue story, best trick, best condition, happiest dog’ and the like.
The new guidelines have been drawn up by the RSPCA’s companion animals department and state that the charity should no longer be associated with Kennel Club-licensed shows. The charity believes breed Standards are not ‘fit for purpose’ and that their use as the ‘sole criteria by which dogs are judged is |

that what i think anyway, you get a wee rosette with the charity logo on it. i think that is also the thing that draws people to the show. you pay you £1 or whatever to enter then go off and look round the stalls. sometimes they take things to seriously.
