 The start of the show...
Another thought..... the shows are not ends unto themselves (or, at least they aren't supposed to be). Shows were started as a way for breeders to show off their breeding stock and to show off the quality of dogs they have.
My concept of a "show breeder" is someone who shows to validate their breeding program. But, some people take it to the extreme of the sport of showing, and only breed to show, not show to prove they should be breeding. |
