Über diesen Titel

For a dog lover like Melanie Travis, the opportunity to attend the Kentuckiana Dog Show Cluster is not to be missed. Fortunately, the timing coincides with her spring break from teaching, so she heads for Central Kentucky with her sister-in-law and Aunt Peg, who's accepted a weeklong judging assignment. Once there, Aunt Peg reconnects with an old friend, Ellie Gates Wanamaker, a former standard poodle exhibitor and a member of a well-heeled Kentucky family. Miss Ellie has been out of the dog show world for more than a decade, but when Melanie invites her to spectate at the Louisville Kennel Club dog show, she's eager to accompany her.

Miss Ellie's presence at the expo center, however, provokes mixed reactions from exhibitors she hasn't seen in years, including some outright animosity. The following day Melanie learns that Miss Ellie has suffered a fatal accident while exercising her dogs. Aunt Peg, however, suspects foul play. Wishing to avoid any scandal, Miss Ellie's pedigreed family prefers to let sleeping dogs lie, but as Melanie begins to sniff around, she discovers Miss Ellie had many secrets, both in the dog show world and among her Kentucky kin....

The story is interesting, I love the authors writing style especially those funny comments inbetween and aunt Peg is just the greates, but unfotunately I have to take away one star as I am not really a huge fan of most dog breeders and those dog shows where dogs are mostly treated like objects instead of living and breathing creatures. And in this story it all looks like fun and sunshine for the dogs. Everyone should know that the dogs that might not be up to standard are often thrown away like trash just because of a floppy ear, the wrong eye color or one too many spots on the nose. And I once got a poodle who had won prices in her first year or something but then had to live for eight years in a crate until she was too old to go on breeding. Luckily she was rescued and that is how I got her. And this unfortunately is not the only case I know. So I am sorry for not being able to agree to the fun of that business. But over all the story itself is great and beautifully narrated and definately worth listening to. Just enjoy and make up your own mind about it.
