The majority of women showing pyrs in NM, CO and AZ do wear dresses
or skirts, even thought we are a bit more informal here in the
Southwest. Some do wear nice pant outfits. I've observed it's a
breed selective thing. The Dobie and Rott folks tend to wear pants
more than dresses < the women that is> VBG!
I always figure if the male judges can don a tie and suit or sports
jacket in 100+ weather, I can manage nylons and a dress. Just a way
of showing respect to the sport. Probably also depends on the
generation one was raised in. I personally can remember, hats, white
gloves and nylons with seams!! (:-o. hmmm, wonder if they wore white
gloves to show dogs back in the good ole days? Just answered my own
question, looked at photos from 1938-1949 in Mary Crane's book. NO
WHITE GLOVES!
