Another flipping flipping loose dog at Burghley...

Kerilli and all I could not agree more.

I saw several loose dogs helling round the XC after horses yesterday and it made me furious.

If you cant hold onto your dog - you shouldnt bl**dy well take it to Burghley.

We have a newfoundland and a retriever and we never take them - you never can be sure how hot its going to be and its just a hassle to take them around in the crowds.

I also got into a rather heated debate with a man yesterday whose dog had a pooh in the main arena (where loads of familys were having their picnic) and he told his wife/ daughter to leave it there! I said you absolutely cannot leave it there you must pick it up - to which I got a mouthful of obscene abuse which only ceased when a load of other burghley goers agreed with me and he then sent his daughter to pick it up - VILE MAN.

It really isnt a place for dogs IMO.

We were there and actually saw the woman reclaim her dog!

She laughed and made a joke out of it to her friend!!

We saw that too and the owners attitude angered me as much as the incident

Mike Tucker just joked about the loose dog on the commentary on BBC2 I think Ian Stark was a bit more pissed off than him.
