Demodex ? What is it ?
Had a friend call and her pup has this. I am not familiar with it. Not a Lab, but should I stay away until treatment is done ? Sounded like it would go away with treatment.

Veterans class at specialties
It's easier to ask, since someone will know faster than me looking it up!!! I have never shown a veteran at a show before. Can you show a neutered dog in regular classes, I know you can in sweeps.
