They, the judges should be as none of this is done "for the betterment of the breed" nor does it evaluate dogs to see if they are good breeding animals. I hope they come down hard on these people because they are putting their own self interest before the dogs best interest. I would also guess they would breed if they are not caught and more poor animals are harmed.
