We 'stay-at-homes' are impatiently waiting for news from the World Show... I will keep looking at the results link under http://www.worlddogshow2008.se/wds/
I'm pretty shocked... not because of the setters, but looking at yesterday's results & pictures I see that cropped and docked dogs were accepted at the world show - I actually thought this was a thing of the past...
In Switzerland cropping of ears has been banned for something around 20 years and docking of tails since four or five years. No cropped or docked dogs are accepted at shows here. I am surprised that Sweden has allowed them, especially dogs with ears cropped!!!
Cropping of ears has been banned since the 1960 here and tails since late 1980s (or early 90s). But according to the world-show-rules, dogs can be shown docked if they are bred in a country that allowes docking.
I suppose if they were not allowed, you would end up excluding too many countrys that you would end up not being able to call it a world show anymore. The way I read it, his is nothing that the host-country can do very much about.

Congratulations to the winners!!! Asoftwind was always a big favourite of mine. Really happy for Camilla and her girls!!! Well done!!!
Don't quite understand why there are two CAC's for males? i thought CAC in Sweden was only given in working class. but perhaps it was different this time as it is World Show.
And congratulations to Laura - her bitch Danka won champion class - that too is something.
And yes, Corranroo Celtic Vision was BIG - that is more or less a sensation.
I had the pleasure to join the judges conference with Kennet Edh in Stockholms Rica Talk Hotel in the morning.
They do give a CAC and ResCAC in working class first.
After that the ResCAC winner competes again for the second CAC.
Dogs/bitches that are swedish champions or have already three swedish CAC's can not compete for CAC. Big job for the ring stewards...
Just seen that Camilla's young bitch was 4th Best Junior of the day and the Susanne's veteran dog was 3rd Best Veteran of the day. Really exciting for the Irish. Well done!!!
WOW!! Congratulation on the Coppers clan, to Camillla on her Bubble litter success. But especially, BIG Congratulations to Laura on Danka's win in Ch. class!!!! Whoohooo!!! go Danka!
I told you to show her even though she is naked ;o))))))
