Synopsis:
Canine competition wasn’t always a pretty affair. In the early nineteenth century, “bull-baiting” and “ratting” were the sports du jour. By the middle of that century, however, another form of dog combat was slowly emerging, the more genteel but no less fiercely contested pedigree dog show. Today, the American Kennel Club sanctions over 11,000 of these shows each year.
