In fact there are plenty of winning dogmen that dry there dogs out. There are also a lot of variables that i believe need to be taken into consideration. For example everyones definition of drying out is not the same. Some people like to come in with a 1/2 to a 1 count and some people come in with a 3 count. Some people also give their dogs fluids after they weigh in. Is the dog completely hydrated after that probably not but he will be better off if it goes the long haul with some fluids back in him than no fluids in him imo.
