Doggy Time

Jonah Goldberg will love this piece. By the way Jonah: Time for another dog show column by my recollection:

Dark Whisperings Shake Dog Show Circuit

Joyce Mann, this year's Crufts Best of Show judge and wife of its chairman Peter, had been targeted by a fax campaign to highlight her mass breeding of Yorkshire Terriers in the 1960s -- puppy farming -- a practice common at the time, but now considered unethical.

My favorite Jonah line from one of this famed columns about the dog show circuit (this one from 2002):

As you can see, this "dog," named Surrey Spice Girl, looks like it was made by dipping a large rat in glue and running it underneath a refrigerator until it collected all the dirt, lint, and dust-bunnies it could manage.
