Coming to Canada to Show a Dog

 Check it out.  When Shar and I crossed the border to come home with Justice, we were asked if the dog was for show or competition.  Of course he was just a 'pet' then.

Heads up, all our American dog exibitor friends - the Canadian government have just thrown another roadblock in your path to exhibiting in Canada. Show dogs are now deemed 'commercial' dogs - please read this carefully.

This is effective November 1, 2013. Please don't shoot the messenger!
