Handlers being sued by owner for death of dog
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8706135/
The handlers told the owner the dog had "run away after hearing a loud noise." The handlers didn't even tell the owner that story until they were at another show, and have continued to show (did not help the owner try to find the "lost" dog). More information can also be found he http://www.jagcomehome.com/ Me, I think there's a special place in hell for any dog person who would a) let this happen, then b) string the owner along for months with a lie. |

That's horrible. I hope these people serve jail time for mental anguish and animal neglect. I also hope they are made to pay for all costs associated with uncovering the truth of Jag's disappearance.

And the likelihood that an experienced show golden would be so frightened by a loud noise strikes me as slim to none. If an awful accident happened, they should have owned up to it, rather than leaving the owners in agony for months. I assume *their* handling careers are over. |

But the few times I have seen it, it's usually been in a crowded grooming area where if something happened somebody would be right there to rescue the dog. I wish they would specifically prohibit it in AKC rules. The possibility for tragedy is just too great. |

Apparently (and I'm hearing this second hand so take it with a grain of salt) when all this first happened and it simply appeared they'd left the area and continued to show without looking for "lost" Jag, they had a lot of defenders on the Golden lists. Their groupies are being very quiet this morning. |

Their groupies are being very quiet this morning. If the dog actually had been lost, I guess I could understand a handler with a truck full of dogs and multiple commitments moving on, since there wouldn't be much they could really do to find the dog that the owners couldn't do. Although one would hope that the other owners would have been understanding if they let everyone know that they had to look for this dog, and the shows would just have to be missed. But to conceal the fact that he was dead, as they apparently did, and leave them worrying is just inexcusable. (And I wonder what on earth they did with his body! Can you imagine them diggin a hole large enough for an adult male Golden by the side of a road somewhere?!) |

I mean, you're not allowed to leave your dog unattended unless it's crated, right? Wait, maybe it's the dog can't be off leash or uncrated at any time. They should say, when left alone all dogs must be crated, not tethered. That would help prevent dogs dying on the grooming table, right? natalie -- What fresh hell is this? --- Dorothy Parker |

Though at that time of year the ground was soft. I hope for the owner's sake that he has a grave and they can find him and bring him home. Apparently the handlers filed a grievance with the AKC against some of the people who were trying to find him! Now that's ballsy. The owner, from California, has spent months in anguish and loads of money to try to find her dog. They even waited until the weekend was over to tell her. The hanging incident happened on a Friday. The dog was absent from the shows for the next 3 days. They phoned the owner on Monday. |

I'm not a dog show regular...so is this a common thing to happen...dogs
being injured or killed in this manner? I seems rather like common sense to me, but then again, so do seat belts and lots of folks don't wear them.
