    Of COURSE the dogs are allowed to be dogs. They sleep on our beds, go for rides, play with toys and have fun. I have been showing since 1970 and now judge them. Unhappy dogs are NEVER forced to go into the ring.

The concept creates a dazzling union between Manganiyars music and the visual seduction of Amsterdam's red light district. The sets are a combination of the Hawa Mahal and the Red light district of Amsterdam.The Manganiyars are a caste of muslim musicians who traditionally performed for the kings of Rajasthan in India. Over the years their patrons have shifted from the kings to a person who could give them a meal. Their repertoire ranges from ballads about the kings to Sufi songs written by various mystics.
