CHENNAI: Sunday’s heat and humidity took its toll at The Madras Canine

Club’s championship show where a Rottweiler collapsed and died due to

dehydration and two mastiffs were hospitalised, drawing criticism from

animal lovers and vets who said shows held in such conditions are exhausting

and humiliating for the animals.

 

The Rottweiler had completed its round in the show ring before it collapsed

around 2 pm. “The Rottweiler died as it was dehydrated,†said Sanjay Reddy,

committee member, Madras Canine Club. “We had a vet and emergency facilities

available, but we were informed too late,†he said. Two Neopolitan mastiffs

from Bangalore were also severely dehydrated and taken to hospital for

treatment.

 

The day’s temperature hovered at 35oC around noon, but the heat was unusual

for a September afternoon. Most dogs at the show were carefully bred

pedigrees used to air-conditioned comfort. “These dogs are not used to the

heat as they are always in the a/c,†said Sibi, a handler from

Mayiladuthirai who was showing two Saint Bernards — one from Hyderabad and

the other from Tiruchi — for their owners.

 

Over 350 dogs participated in the club’s championship dog show held at the

University Union Grounds, Chetpet. As the afternoon progressed, German

Shepherds and Golden Retrievers lay panting on sheets, Saint Bernards rolled

in the mud while handlers tried to groom them, Great Danes stood patiently

as owners squirted water to keep them cool, and
