BRITAIN'S Kennel Club says it is looking into allegations that a young 
doberman pinscher was drugged to prevent her from winning a coveted prize at Crufts, 
the world's biggest dog show.

Kerri, aged 22 months, was a favourite to win the doberman Open Bitch 
category, but when she entered the ring at Crufts on Saturday her owner noticed that 
she was not her usually lively self. 
"She was just not herself. She was uncoordinated, listless and lethargic," 
recalled Clive Evans, 44, who pulled Kerri out of competition and took her to 
Crufts' chief veterinarian Trevor Turner to be examined.
