Not looking great for the WDS in 2013, hope no one here has any import / pedigree problems.

Thanks for posting that SSM, we don't know how lucky we are...even though our system is far from perfect.

Serious Stuff.... Makes Hungary a very round peg in a square hole bang in the middle of the EU in the way of the dog world. Hungary isn't in a position either to lose that kind of money by loosing that show. Husband just asked did I want to go to the show... I'm like hmm Doesn't look like it will be there to go to >_>

There is a petition circulating to stop this.

As awful & ridiculous as this is I can see something similar happening here in the future.

One of the comments posted below the article started with this

Hope its ok to post, its just someones opinion

One honestly has to wonder what cabinet-level officials, indeed, what a government in any country, not only Hungary, has to do with the status of a Kennel Club. These are private membership clubs with their own internals rules, structures and finances as well as their own international institutional associations and standards

Government interference has already started here & look at Crufts now.

If it was a club or show for paedophiles or some other inhumane, disgusting purpose I can understand government interference but its a dog club for goodness sake. The world has gone mad.
